[OU] Color Profiles

[Ledgem]

Greetings all,

I've noticed that when I upload pictures to Flickr they look rather dull compared with how they appear on my computer. However, if I view them with Safari then they look the exact same. Apparently this has to do with a difference in how the browsers handle color profiles - Opera treats everything as sRGB, whereas Safari reads the color profile information from the picture itself. FireFox apparently has a similar functionality as Safari, although it is disabled by default (or so I hear).

Opera currently doesn't support color profiles in any form, from what I can see. My pictures are already using the sRGB color profile, but I would guess that Opera is using a slightly altered sRGB standard. Does anyone know if Opera 10 has any plans to support color profiles? If not, I'd ask that any other photo aficionados join me in writing it in as a feature request (although I'm more hopeful that some Opera staff will see this request and add it to the list!)

Enjoy your Friday and have a terrific Mother's Day weekend,
David
