Browser color settings[edit]

Hope that author and licence of this screenshot are correct: File:Same JPG showing different colors (Commons and GIMP).png Greetings, Watchduck (talk) 20:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I simply cropped it - I guessed you just wanted to show the different pictures.

I thought your problem is due to the image is using color profiles and your firefox does not support them - but this is not the case. Do you have some filters activated in GIMP? Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 21:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

The linked version looks equally in my Firefox 3.6.10 and GIMP 2.6.2. --Saibo (Δ) 21:09, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if I had filters activated, but I clicked on "Filters: Back to standard", and the problem stays the same. I didn't even know, there is such a thing like filters ... what a mess. I copied your comment on the description page. Greetings, Watchduck (talk) 22:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I meant the filters in menu "view" ("Ansicht" in German version). Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 23:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, the "color management" ("Farbverwaltung") filter was activated, but it doesn't change anything. The problem is more general as I see:

The same JPG is shown in the cold way on homepages, and in the warm way by programs on my computer.
Don't know what to say... Watchduck (talk) 02:14, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I have activated the color management in GIMP, too - that's okay. Just for testing: go to about:config in firefox, type gfx.color in the quick filter bar and change gfx.color_management.mode to 0. Maybe you need to restart firefox afterwards to apply changes. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 02:32, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, that worked.

I've changed the gfx.color_management.mode from 2 (standard) to 0 (user defined). Can one say, that what I see in GIMP and now in Firefox is the image as it really is? It's a bit strange, that Firefox has a standard value, changing the colors arbitrarily. Do you know, if other browsers do a similiar stupid thing to the images? Greetings, Watchduck (talk) 12:18, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I have deactivated color mngt, too in Firefox. But I did it already a year ago. I think there was a bug in Firefox. But apparently there still is something not correct. Maybe it is a bug in GIMP? Maybe you haven't chosen the correct color mngt profile for you display? I do not know the solution. Maybe you can reach more people if you ask this (summarized a bit of course) on COM:VP.
