This just in: The brand new Firefox 3.0 supports ICC Profiles!

As you may or may not know, electronic images have embedded meta data (called ICC-Profiles), which are used to properly display the colors on your screen the way the photographer intendend them to be. Photoshop and other software have been utilizing this for a long time. Not so much with internet browsers, which are the platform most images are viewed by the public today. 

So up until now what you saw on your screen was an approximation - at best - how an image was supposed to look. Check Rob Galbraith’s page here to find out how to use this feature!

Firefox V3.0 can be obtained here (for free)!

Go get it!

And: If you want to learn more about ICC-Profiling and color management, there’s a nice explanation about it to be found over at Pixsylated.
