Are your pictures not looking exactly right after uploading? If your using Firefox 3, you can edit your settings to make those photos pop and display even richer colors. To enable Firefox 3’s rich color support you need to:
Step 1: Enter about:config into your address bar
Step 2: In the filter box, type in this string:
gfx.color_management.enabled
Step 3: Now toggle that from false to true, and then restart (or close, and then open back up) Firefox. Your done! Now where is the catch? Here is the explanation from Lifehacker:
From there on in, your photo colors will be richer than they were. Why isn’t this value true by default? Well, according to Mozilla, you’ll see a 10-15% performance hit using this setting, but if you’ve got a reasonably fast machine, it’ll be worth the better-looking photos. Hit the link below for an extended explanation of Firefox’s color profile support.
So, the clift notes version would be if you have a slower machine, you may not want to enable this setting. If you have a powerhouse though, go at it.
This only has an effect when the image isn’t saved in the sRGB colour space; most photographers do this if the image was intended for the web anyway. Also, it might require calibrating your own monitor, which Calibrize (Windows), the nVidia control panel (Windows) or Monica (*nix) can help with, all for free.
Thanks, I did it! But I don’t see any changes… :(
The only thing gfx.color_management does is saturate colors. The result is a seventies-looking-like Agfacolor style look. Lousy as far as I’m concerned.
