Okay, have patience with me on this one Godders. I've pulled the two comparison pics and trashed them - I've started again from scratch - I went back to my original optimised PSD I made from the camera original jpeg. I reduced the dimensions to 700 pixels along the longest edge (as I always do), sharpened up a tad for web, converted the working profile of Adobe RGB to sRGB, and saved as another PSD. I then import that PSD into Freeway and it gets converted into a jpeg in there. can you have a quick look at the pic now, and tell me if you can see any embedded profile? > >If your screen was calibrated and you then output an file converted to >sRGB with embedded sRGB profile, I would see virtually no shift in >Safari as Safari always honors profiles.

When I set my system up a while ago now, I read from Evening's 'Adobe Photoshop for Photographers' and made my adjustments accordingly. The monitor is an old Apple 1705 Colorsync, and I have its profile selected in ColorSync. I calibrated it according to my eyes and ambient light (no spyders and wotnots), and its profile is registered in my System Prefs as 'Calibrated Display'. Trying to get my head around this, Thanks, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
