Hi to all,
If you take a moment to go to the ICC site: www.color.org, and click
on the tab "Is your system version 4 ready?" link on the right side,
you will see an interesting CM artifact. If you are running on IE7
(not color managed), you will see that the HTML document is clearly
not managed. If you display the PDF document, you will see that when
viewed through IE7 both v2 and V4 profiles are managed. That is
because the PDF viewer is completely color managed. If you feel the
need to display truly color managed content on the web, you should
provide a PDF link to the document. This is a very easy test to
perform on any system with a browser.
Did you compare the other page elements (colored text, tabs and images
in the the top corner, Phil's Portrait) with Firefox 3 with
gfx.color_management.enabled=true and Safari on a wide gamut display?
Both browsers fully support ICCv4 *for taged images*, but Firefox
assumes sRGB for any untagged element (e.g. HTML colors or untagged
images) and Safari assumes the display colorspace (i.e. applies no color
management). The differences are *huge* on my new HP DreamColor.
