Ok, so, when you edit a photo in photoshop it looks "perfect", then, when you convert it to jpg, the color space changes slightly. The only way to combat this is to soft proof using Monitor RGB.
So, now you know what I'm talking about....
Does anyone know why Piclens/Cooliris is rendering jpg files in the native color space and not monitor RGB ?????
In other words, when I view a photo using piclens/cooliris, it appears as it does in Photoshop WITHOUT soft proofing with monitor RGB. But, when viewed through a browser..ANY browser, it appears with the monitor RGB intention.
Any ideas?!?!?!
So...just to add an example, photos that appear in piclens appear brighter than through the browser.

No it doesn't. Going from 16-bit to 8-bit might, in some cases, make a visible difference, though

The only thing Monitor RGB does is make Photoshop act like a non color managed application and show you how the image would look like on such applications on your monitor only. In other words, it's pretty much useless in a correctly color managed workflow.

I haven't used Piclens in a long time but if I remember correctly, it displays the images on a black background, which alters the perception of brightness compared to when the same image is displayed on a lighter background.

Sorry, I was referring to the apparent color space, i.e. what the monitor projects.

Right...browsers are not color managed....are they? I have never seen a case where the sRGB color profile shows exactly as it does in photoshop.

Not likely. The difference is quite real. For example, in the most recent challenge, Crayons, the trees in the background are more clearly seen and counted when viewed with piclens than in the browser window alone. I masked the background to be sure.

Ok....I figured it out....took a little looking through the forums here and outside, but I realized it.
Cooliris/Piclens IS a color managed application.
Browsers, such as IE and Firefox are NOT, in general.
Except that Firefox 3 IS when it is turned on.
I went into about:config and edited gfx.color_management.enabled to be true. |
