How do I work this out?
Unfortunately, one of the first things you have to do is accept the
fact that you will not be able to fully control the color for images
published on the web.
Using your monitor profile as the soft-proof, set up sRGB images that
look as good as possible (of course, embed the profile so that
systems
that are color managed will have a better chance of looking right).
After that, just hope for the best. For those of us who like to
control
every aspect of color reproduction, it's hard to get past the fact
that
you just won't be able to control it on the web.
This strategy has a big drawback: you deliver a picture that only
looks great
on ***your*** monitor (plus those who use color management). A lot of
people
try to have a monitor calibrated to sRGB, sometimes they even don't
they do.
sRGB is supposed to be the web color standard. A lot of non professional
printers and about all digital cameras pretend to have sRGB embedded.
Calibrate your monitor to sRGB when you need screenshot of your web
design from those browsers that don't support color management.
Have fun,
Karsten
