ICC Profile On By Default?
I want to start by saying that I seldom use Photoshop for web production, I may use it for some visualization and image editing but as a general rule, everything ends up in Fireworks for any layout or slice and dice that may need to happen. Yesterday in what I can only describe as a momentary loss of sanity, I cranked out a few dozen graphics for a promotional blog from Photoshop - all jpegs, all designed to seamlessly fade into the blogs blue background - took me 3 tries - why? - because Adobe in it’s infinite wisdom has ‘include icc profile’ on by default, and I absolutely missed that fact TWICE – if you’re unaware of this setting, it’s a color profile that attempts to assure you get consistent color representation across devices - and it works swimmingly as long as all the software honors ICC profiles - not surprisingly IE and Firefox on a PC don’t, which is why I never use embedded ICC profiles KNOWINGLY. So aggravating..
