Yes I am running winXp. The result was when the windows ICC lost sync, no profile was being used for ANY application including color managed apps like ps. In that condition, a 255,0,0 red would look the same in PS srgb,argb,prophoto doc. The red would appear as the 2690's native full out red.
I'll need to verify but I believe it loses synch like this each time right after doing a cal/Icc build. Whether this Is a windows fault or is a NEC's spectraview fault I couldn't tell you.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.
I copied-n-pasted all of the images in the above test to file, opened in Photoshop, and the same error was there. The far right image (sRGB) was much cleaner and nicer.
I am on the Mozilla website right now. Should I download the latest (3.0.6) version of Firefox?

What OS? I'm going to assume Windows because if Mac, you'd have by default Safari which is color managed.
Shouldn't be the issue however. Even if the profile wasn't being used, they would all match equally poorly. You might want to try Safari if you're on Windows, its color managed. The latest version of FireFox is color managed once you turn it on**
Is Safari part of Firefox or something different? According to Mlmcasual's test, my browser (and even Photoshop) was not making the bottom row of said test look identical, like it was supposed to look
**Type "about:config" on the address bar on Firefox without the quotes, filter for Color to find the o gfx.color_management.enabled;true (by double clicking on it). Quit and restart the app. Done.
Okay, I am going to try to dowload Firefox now.
Process once, export twice (in LR). Or process once in Photoshop, convert to sRGB, save is.
Thanks again.
