New issue 4938 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Convert content to the monitor's color space http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4938 This is split off from but 143. That one is "handle tagged images" and this one is "convert the resulting picture to the monitor color space." They don't necessarily have to be fixed at the same time. Ideally, everything would be converted to the monitor's color space. But that may not be possible given that windowless plugins like to draw on our DC and use sRGB, and if a designed specifies color #208000 in both Flash (as an example plug-in that does this) and on their page, they expect the colors to match. As a result, I suspect the only way to make this work will be to use an sRGB backing store. In which case, we should convert from sRGB to whatever the current monitor profile is when we draw to the screen. The downside is that if you're one of the few people that has an AdobeRGB monitor and you are looking at one of the few AdobeRGB images on the web, the gamut will be clamped to sRGB (but for most images you wouldn't notice). One danger is that some people have accidentally assigned incorrect profiles to their monitor, and since they don't run color managed applications, they will think Chrome is broken. This blog post: http://bholley.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/so-many-colors/ talks about some of this with Firefox. We should watch how this goes, we don't want to make a change that hurts more people than it helps. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
