IE5 on the Mac is colorsync-savvy. Stuff I pump out of Photoshop always looks exactly the same in Explorer on my machine. With this and a calibration page on your website you can have a reasonable idea of how images will look on target machines if people can be bothered to check their calibration. the biggest problem is the issue of 1.8 v 2.2 gamma. If I was sensible I would output everything in gamma 2.2 so it displays correctly on non-color-managed windows systems. However I always work in 1.8 and always have, so the vast majority of the images on my site are in gamma 1.8. To change now would be disastrously difficult! a legacy problem however most of my images are correctly tagged with profiles so I just hope one day color management catches up with PC folk. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com ICQ: 109343205
