Firefox 3.5 Bug displaying images - PhotoCamel

guyfromtor · 07-05-2009

Hi

I first thought it was a problem with pbase: my 'original' images were all displaying very dark.

I then was in dpreview and noticed the same with others uploaded images.

Then I visited pbase again with IE and no problems, images displayed fine.

After some googling I found there is a bug and the workaround now is to:

1) In the broswer window type about:config
2) find gfx.color_management.mode and set it to 0

I hope this will of help to others.

Cheers

But that is just turning off color management versus fixing the issue, right?

Mine does not get dark--it looks just like IE and 3.1. Hmmmmm?

guyfromtor · 07-06-2009

yes you are correct. This is a bug they know about it

It doesn't get dark on all my images. At least on pbase, only when they are the original size. Why? I can;t figure it out yet

can you give links to specific examples?

also a link to the information, I assume there is since you keep saying its a known issues....

eh..

well i did some scratching and found it, under known issues. apparently it only appears when using wide gamut monitors...

Ah, no wonder why some of my images were showing too much saturation in colour

I am seeing the same photos, but with a lot more colour though...wtf?

Yes, more colour and contrast for me.

Did you try the workaround? Did it work for you?

here is a good page to read regarding the matter
Firefox 3.5 and color management | blog.patyuen.com

At first my firefox did not display different purple blocks at that page. I had neglected to specify adobe RGB in about:config; the setting being gfx.color_management.display_profile, the value being the absolute path of your desired icc profile

But the colour went down on the "fix", looking at it compared to the photo on Window picture viewer, the colour had gone down quite considerably, which sucks, because I want it to look as shot
