(My understanding of color management is rather limited. I am working on it.
)
Since getting my PA271W, I have noticed that some images on the web look horribly red or magenta saturated. I alternated between being very worried about my own monitor and thinking that the photographers of said images had edited the images on very poorly calibrated monitors.
But it's happened too may times, so today I did some reading and learned (?) that the problem is that my color managed browser (Safari) and my Mac computer are displaying untagged images with my monitor profile rather than sRGB. And that the solution is to use Firefox with the color management value set to =1. This apparently makes FF display untagged images as sRGB.
So I did this and sure enough, one of the images I was seeing in Safari as overly red saturated displays in FF much, much better now. I downloaded that image and pulled it into PS and sure enough, it has no color profile attached. If I proof it as monitor RGB, I see the same over red saturated image I see in Safari.
Is it not possible for me to use Safari to see untagged images properly (as sRGB) on the web? Am I stuck with having to use FF now because I have a wide gamut monitor and a mac?
