Safari brings "colour-managed viewing" to Windows

This feature is nice but ultimately worthless since most PC monitors haven't been calibrated. Or worse yet are cheap LCD that can't be properly calibrated.

Saving an image without a color profile is necessary if you want the image to match the web page colors - for instance blending in with the html background. But it's completely inappropriate for displaying photographs as a thing unto themselves - in that case you want to display the photograph with the best color reproduction possible, and that means using a color profile.

In fact a lot of web developers accidentally leave the color profile in when they shouldn't, and their web pages look awful in Safari. Nothing matches, you can see the edges of the images, and colors shift when you move from page to page.

Why on earth do you guys use color profiles on jpegs for web? sRGB only makes the image less colorful because the profile has very limited colors. When saving for web, save with NO color profile.

When opening a file with a color profile on Photoshop, use discard colorprofile.

I've been waiting for this - color theory on the web is a big problem (just try and buy a red shirt, hope it looks the same when you receive the item that was on screen); while this is an improvement, we'll never get past the color variation of the monitor itself. Still, great to see, and a step forward! Figures though, MS never cared for typography or design - not a member of ICC http://color.org

Great example Aron, much better!
