Ok, I realize this is not the most important question in the world, but using the Snow Leopard built-in Photos screen saver, I am noticing that my photos are being displayed with a pumped up saturation.
The images are jpegs in srgb (exported from originals in Lightroom). I am on a profiled wide gamut Dell U3011 monitor. Opening the same images in Preview they definitely look distinctly different (i.e. correct) than they do in the screen saver. Also, I checked another machine -- a Macbook Pro with its internal screen and attached to a cheap flat screen, and I am not seeing this effect. So apparently it has something to do with the profiles and the wide gamut monitor.
Somebody on another forum suggested that the screen saver is not profile aware, and that I should export the photos from Lightroom using the monitor's profile instead of srgb. I tried that, but the results are identical (i.e. the same oversaturated appearance in the screensaver, and perfectly normal in Preview etc.).
Any ideas?
