A while back I [URL="http://dpnow.com/forum2/blog.php?b=64"]blogged[/URL] about the headache I am having with photos I have posted to the Web that exhibit a nasty colour shift, even though they have been saved for Web viewing in sRGB colour space. I'm now coming to the conclusion that (apart from the issue of using a colour managed browser like FireFox ([URL="http://dpnow.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=5850"]though you need to switch colour management on[/URL]) or Safari) to avoid this problem - most do not) it's down to my monitor.
I have an inexpensive, but reasonably high-spec. 24 inch 1920x1200 LCD panel, and it is colour calibrated using an iOne Pro spectrophotometer. The problem is that when I view this picture, for example:
[IMG]http://dpnow.com/galleries/data//547/P6170277.jpg[/IMG]
..in Internet Explorer, the fresh clean blues of the sky and the lake are a horride cyan and the saturation as gone into overdrive.
The picture was exported from Lightroom with sRGB assigned, the normal advice for posting photos to the Web.
So now I am wondering if it's actually my monitor, which has a wide gamut, like many new monitors, which is the culprit.
Can you tell me if you see an over-saturated and cyan tinted picture above, or does it look clean and fresh blue as it should? No smart-alecs please using FireFox and or Safar i:D, I'm only interested in what you see when viewing in Internet Explorer, please. Oh - and please let me know what make, model, and type (CRT vs LCD) of monitor you are using.
Thanks!

The colour management add-on isn't compatible with latest update for Firefox. I discovered that a couple of days ago when I updated my laptop.
Oh well ... *LOL

I have the latest version of FF and when I checked last week CM was switched on. So far as I know its not so much an Add-on but more an integral element of the program
My lappy updated to version 3.5 last night or the night before and it reported that the CM add on wasn't compatible. My PC has version 3.0.11 and I installed the CM add-on the other day and that's enabled atm - so I'm leaving that version in until the add-ons get updated (I can't live without my RP downloads from Youtube).
I think my CM is a Sean Hayes add on. I can't find anything anywhere about it being an integral part of the proggie.
Have I missed summick? Am I being a dumbo again? :o :D
