Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

Cintiq 21ux Color Issue with Snow Leopard

I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have a Cintiq 21ux tablet that is noticeably "faint" now on the new SL. It appears hazy and the colors just don't pop like they did on Tiger. I didn't have this issue with Tiger. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the issue? I'm a graphic designer so color is EXTREMELY critical in my day to day operations.
I adjusted the gamma and that showed some improvement but there is still a dramatic difference between my Apple monitor and the Cintiq.
I noticed this was posted earlier but no resolution provided and it was archived.
Please help!

Something just occurred to me that has happened in the past that when I've upgraded the OS that the ColorSync profile that was previously selected for the Cintiq and/or my main display for whatever reason gets unselected. You may want to look in the System Preferences/Display/Color Tab to make sure that the color profile you previously had selected is in fact still there and selected. Make sure that "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked so that all profiles are visible. More than likely it should be named something like Cintiq 21UX or Cintiq 12WX which was installed when you set up the tablet.

Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

Hi everyone,
I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
=============
This is more or less my technique :
//I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
//Create a JTextPane
JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
//Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
_tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
//Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
//I then have a function to create new documents
void newDocument(){
_docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
_tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
   //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
//I then have another function to load content
void loadContent(){
   //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
   String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
   //I set content for my editor
   _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
//Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
//have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
// I always get the bug
//To change color it goes like this :
JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
//I correctly initialize this combo with colors
//then I do something like this
ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
   public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
      Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
      MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
      setAttributeSet(mas);
_cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
//Set Attributes goes something like this
private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {
        //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
        int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
        int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
        if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
            //Apply attributes to selection
            _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
        else{
            //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
            MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
            atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

hi, friend!
try this:
void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
good luck.

CS4 to CS6 After Effects Color Issue with Linked Photoshop Files

Hi, I just recently converted a CS4 project into CS6 and everything work wonderfully except that the photoshop files are different in color. I know this because I took screenshots of the video I was working with and edited them in Photoshop before importing them back in to the project so I know the color should match. This screenshot may help (as you can see I've increased the brightness and contrast in the affected area so that you may see what is happening. There is a Photoshop layer that is covering up a number of scratches on the guiter (it is very beat up) and in the original (CS4) project they hid them perfectly while in the CS6 project they are clearly there.
I am not sure why the Photoshop files are acting differently but they are. I need to re-export, please help if possible. Thank you so much. Jason.

In Bridge, my color settings are shown as synchronized (some kind of universal deal I guess), but the Photoshop files and the After Effects file are not color managed. What is confusing me is how completely "not color managed" files can interpret RGB values for anything different than their face value?
My Workaround (Not a Solution):
In light of how specific this problem is, I've decided to simply match the Photoshop files to the After Effects footage with a gamma adjustment using a levels effect. For this situation settings the levels to .88 corrected the problem. However, exporting the project from Premiere results in a darker movie file than the orginal so I was forced to correct the gamma on the export as well. The new export (after the corrections) looks less appealing to me but as a standalone product is acceptable.

Export color vs. print to file color issue with 2.3RC

Hi,
I'm having problems with exporting photos for web-site usage.
In short: colors get extremely washed out and plain when using "export to disk" (requesting sRGB color profile, in jpg-format). But, when "printing to file" using sRGB profile and rendering intent perceptual colors are reasonably close to what I see in LR. Yes, I know, sRGB is limited, but...
Why there is such a difference when both methods are using sRGB for generated jpg? Is it the fact that rendering intent can not be selected for "export to disk"?
As I can not control pixel dimensions in Print mode is not an option for my use (and I can not control sharpening with plug-in, but the color issue is there to begin with without any export plugin intervention).
In contrast, LR 1.4 export to disk gives reasonable colors, the color issue has appeared with 2.x series.
Running Windows XP SP3, LR 2.3RC, display calibrated with Color Vision SPyder 2.
Please help, this is driving me nuts :(

I think, that your examples shows the same problem as my observations.
It seems that your display has even smaller gamut than sRGB (on my notebook DELL D620 this is also the case) so after you calibrated it, both lightroom and color managed firefox shows more saturated colors than windows explorer showing exported image (as far as I know, export from library module works correctly, but win explorer is not doing conversion to your monitor profile, that's why image is undersaturated). This is correct. It is really hard to calibrate such a low quality display, which can often be found on cheap notebooks - I have my own experience with it. Blue shades are really weak so heavy corrections have to be done in the profile (generated with spyder in your case), which can result in purple skies (why? Read this: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?WorkingSpaceInfo.html).
Problem is with image printed to file. This should look same as file exported from library module given that you use sRGB both as a destination space in export from library and as a printer profile while printing to file. In your case LR printed your image using values corresponding to your monitor profile (even if sRGB was selected) which resulted in oversaturated image (because your display has smaller gamut than sRGB). In my case images printed to file are undersaturated (because my monitor has gamut wider than sRGB). But I'm sure this is a bug! Your monitor profile should not affect printing to file in any case if sRGB is selected as printer profile!
Summary: purle sky in LR and in color managed FF is ok, but purple sky in image printed to file is not ok. :-)
And my hint: do not try to calibrate this display... :-)
You can try to make some measurements of your UNCALIBRATED NB display using this freeware: http://www.homecinema-fr.com/colorimetre/index_en.php You will probably see a very uneven color temperature across grayscale and much smaller gamut than sRGB.
Let us know your findings.

Color issue with CS5

Hi,
I recently bought the latest version of photoshop CS5, but when I open my pictures in CS5, the colors doesn't look as good as when I was using CS2. They look more flat, with less contrast and it's driving me crazy because if I add more contrast and save it, when I preview it in other software, like windows viewer, than they look too contrasty.
Also, when I open my raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and set (camera calibration) to lanscape since my original picture from my camera was taken as lanscape (I just prefer that setting!), they look good. If I save it as a JPG and then open it in photoshop CS5, the JPEG image doesn't look as good, it looks flat. When I open the JPG in windows picture viewer, the image appears good, the same as in ACR.
I've checked the proof mode under View>proof setup and both CS5 and CS2 were: Working CMYK. I've tried to play with these setting in CS5 to see if it would help, but I can't get the same image as I had with CS2. Also, when I go under edit>color setting, it's the same setting in both software (sRGB EIC61966). In ACR, my image is also in set to sRGG.
Why are my picture looking so flat in CS5. I can't work on them because I'm affraid I will add to much contrast. Also, I edit them in ACR, contrast looks good and than when I open it in CS5 I have to restart again because there is not enough constrat :S This is so frustrating!!!! I would love some help on this.
Mary

Hi!
Thank you so much for trying to help!!!! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that it doesn't solve my problem . I still don't understand why I never had this problem with CS2 (image were looking much better) and the color setting are the same. Also, I don't understand why the image in CS5 doesn't look the same as in ACR. ACR seems to give me a much better image and this is the image I want to open in CS5. Even when I open my Jpegs that I processed months ago in CS2, they look much better in ACR than CS5. The image in ACR is the same as CS2. How can we explain that!! Could it be a display setting in CS5 that I need to change???
Wolf, see below some of my comments on your tips. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything It's very appreciated!
Mary, welcome to the world of colour management. Thanks!
Tip #1: if you are having colour issues you can be virtually certain that the problem does not lie with Photoshop or ACR. They are fully colour managed applications and understand colour far better than most users. You are right, I wish I could understand it like them!!! hehe!
Tip #2: comparing colours between Photoshop and any other non-colour managed application is futile. Yes I agree, I shouldn't compare with Windows Viewer, however, I think that my image in photoshop and ACR should look the same but they are not
Tip #3: turn off the Highlight indicator in ACR (click the right triangle in ACR's histogram). Done but it doesn't solve my problem..
Tip #4: sRGB is a colour space with a very limited gamut and explains your "flat" look in Photoshop. sRGB cannot capture the vibrant reds captured in the (cute) child's sweater. In CS2, even when using sRGB, the colors were vribrant and very nice!
Try the following experiment:
In ACR save the file as an 8 bit sRGB (as you have already done). Then save as a 16 bit ProPhoto RGB tif file. Open both in Photoshop and compare. The sRGB image likely looks more muted especially in the red tones. (Ensure that you have your Photoshop colour preferences set to Preserve Embedded Profiles.)
Now take the ProPhoto RGB image and choose Edit -> Convert to Profile. In the Convert to Profile dialog click the Preview box and set the destination profile to sRGB. See the difference? I did the experiment, but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem But I was able to see the difference between Prophoto RGB and sRGB!
What you were seeing in ACR was the ProPhoto RGB version and in Photoshop the sRGB version.
Another example with histogram and more details...
Many THANKS,
Mary

PDF Color issues with Pages 09

I made a new Page Layout document with Pages 09. I created my own page templates for this document. The left page of the document uses a wide blue filled band and the right page uses a narrower blue filled band.
Both use the same exact color. (I'm even using the DigitalColor Meter app to show me this.)
I exported the finished file to pdf using the best setting. When I open it up in Adobe acrobat reader, I now have two different colors. One is purplish, the other is navy blue. This is visible on the PC screen. If I open it up in Preview on my mac, they are all the same color.
Any ideas?

Well, yes. I was more after links to information about why they wait.
There is a legal side and a technical side. The legal side revolves around antitrust issues, apparently. The technical side revolves around the same issues as in the past.
Through cross-licencing, Adobe Systems controls the composition model and the configuration of composition products at any point in time.
At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, John Warnock stated that the proposed protective separation of character processing from glyph processing was "garbage" - according to the New York Times.
In December 1990, the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, Appendix E, published how drawing ligatures, small capitals etc would be done by overruling the character set.
This is the road to destructive drawing: it sacrifices content-based spelling, searching and sorting for the sake of appearance-based composition.
The Apple developer discussion stated in 1992 that a composition model that can draw a glyph design if and only if the glyph codes is directly depicted onto a character code is disastrous.
By the time QuickDraw GX was available in q3 1994 there were at least 15,000 Adobe Type 1 products and at least 100 million licences (there were 22 million licences in September 1989).
By promoting the Adobe Type 1 library, and in particular the Adobe Type 1 Expert library, Adobe destroyed the text services of Apple Mac OS, simply.
Microsoft TrueImage was discontinued partly because PostScript Level 2 does not support the screen in its colour management model and partly because Adobe Type 1 and the PostScript use of a completely configurable name space instead of a coded character set allows Adobe to overrule the OS text services at any time.
When Adobe in April 2002 made the the Adobe OpenType library available on the Adobe Font Folio, in place of the Adobe Type 1 library, Adobe applied the same tactic. As John Hudson points out, all alternate glyphs were available for drawing with Private Use Area characters which is analoguous to what Adobe Type 1 Expert did before.
Because Adobe bases PDF on PS and because PS ignores intact SFNT indices as well as intact ICC indices, Adobe based PDF on the completely configurable name space model of PS. For this to work in synthesising source character specifications it is necessary that the name space be configured with ISO-IEC 10036/AFII glyph identifiers or with ISO-IEC 10036 character identifiers.
It is also necessary that the glyph stream be passed into PS in reading order and not in geometric order, that there be a linear relationship of characters to glyphs in the processing (problems with bidirectional ordering and with functions like insertion in AAT e.g. for Khmer), and of course that font-indenpendent identifiers in fact by implemented by all concerned - which they are not.
XPS revolves around keeping the source character string intact, PDF does not revolve around keeping the source character string intact (not for lowend office typesetting of the Latin script, at any rate). At the Linotype Typotechnica in April 2007, Adobe announced that configuring CMAPs with PUA would not be discontinued - it would be continued.
In other words, technically Adobe is using the completely configurable name space of PostScript as a weapon against Microsoft just as it used it as a weapon against Apple. But the problem is that Adobe publishes no documentation with its type products informing the customer in the EU of how the type product is in fact configured, and that may or may not be illegal.
Personally, I don't have a problem with PUA drawing provided it is documented in order that the everyday enduser understands that the ISO-IEC 10646 standard character set is being overruled and that a synthesis has to take place from a private name space model, but if this is not documented then the everyday enduser is made hostage.
This is where Adobe's tactical use of type as a strategic pawn in its struggle for the digital document market becomes politically problematic. How are we ever going to rid the Mac of Adobe Type 1 'Expert'? Adobe and Linotype spent a fortune marketing the idea that correct type was done by changing the correct text. Utterly braindead from day one.

Color issues with opening PDFS in PS5

Hi Everyone,
I was given a pdf by a customer. It's not quite layed out well for print so I need to move around some items. Unfortunitly not all the items are moveable in Arobat X pro. So I figured I would make the edits in PS5. Everything works well except the color after I have edited the page in PS is darker and muddier. I have no access to the orignal raw file so I have to edit the PDF. Is there a way to make sure the edited pdf matches the original? I tried opening the selected page of the pdf in both RGB and CMYK mode. Any ideas? I am using acrobat x pro and Photoshop Cs5 on mac oc 10.6.8.

first you probably realize if your PDF has vector type or vector objects -- Photoshop will raster (destroy) them at the ppi you use
opening the PDF Illustrator may be a better program to try and crack this nut (to preserve any vector)...
the color after I have edited the page in PS is darker and muddier
(if you mean in Photoshop) that is most likely a profile issue -- you need to Photoshop Edit> Assign Profile (the correct profile)
in Acrobat, use Object Inspector to verify the object's source profile:
tip: if your Acrobat displays the PDF "Device" untagged colors proper (on a calibrated monitor), Photoshop Edit> Assign Profile: Acrobat's Working Working Space profile...
(if you mean in Acrobat) that is most likely a profile issue you need to sort out... if your PDF object is Tagged, it should display (and Convert) properly

Issue with JPEG Exports

I am unable to use my exported JPEG files in other programs. I have exported my InDesign document pages as JPEGs, and they are available in a folder and open up in Preview. However, when I try to import the saved JPEGs into other programs like powerpoint, they are unavailable for selection. I am using a Mac.
I have tried using the JPEGs in multiple other programs so am thinking the issue is something to do with the export format itself.
Any ideas on how I might be exporting this wrong?

Color issues with video

Hi All,
Thanks for looking in.
I have a little web series I am doing and when it is exported it looks good. (Color) When uploaded to Youtube looks good. When previewing it through my channel looks good. When going to full screen view, the color gets wacky... Oranges are really orange, almost an overbleed, some of the graphics become pixilated.
I am exporting this file as a 720 h264.mov Mixed down from 1080 29.fps shot in 60p All looks good as mentioned, but even some of the P.S Graphics are getting blown out. Which are created in 1080 and then shrunk down to a 320 size. All done in P.S such as Text, Gradient. Other videos I watch on the same computer do not have the issues mine does..Leads me to believe my HD monitor on my Toshiba Laptop is not doing the change, it has to do with my video.
The screen that it is being full-screened on is my laptop 20 or 21" monitor. Toshiba Sattelite HD BTW
Any suggestions on what I should be looking at? Is this overcome with exporting it as a 1080? Or is this where Speed Grade plays a role? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on this. It's like a color correction issue only when full screened.
Thanks again,
NC

320 to fit into a virtual monitor in my fake news studio. A quality 1080 file then shrunk down in PP when installing it on a virtual monitor within a virtual set. Leaving with a size of about 320 down from the original of 1080.
To elaborate on the set. The whole set is getting blow out in Full Screen. Yet looks great at regular view. Looked good on my Dell monitor during editing. Looked good on my Dell monitor when previewing .mov file after export. Previewing in FullScreen. BTW. Only gets blown out via Youtube after upload and then using the FullScreen mode from there.

Font color issue with animated text in Captivate 5

When I prepare a new animated text and open the property and then click the square to choose a color , I only get a little part of the color panel (when I click the color box) and I have no possibilities to enter the color code either:
I'm working with a Windows XP, 64 bits desktop and I have Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624.
Any ideas to solve this issue would be appreciated as it is becoming urgent for me.

@Lieve: You're on the French version of Captivate 5 aren't you?
Can you provide a screenshot of what the Animated Text font colour dialog looks like on your PC and upload it here?
This is what that box looks like for me:
It seems that on this user's PC the colour picker isn't able to float on top of the dialog as it should.
I encouraged Valerie to post her issue on this forum in the hope that one of the Captivate developer technicians would chime in with a possible solution. I think this one has got to be some kind of bug due to a language version of Cp.

Color issues with photosmart 7960

I have been using this 7960 for years with the XP operating system with no problems at all. I recently changed computers and am now using a beta version of Windows 7. The printer works just fine except that I now have a blue hue to all my printed pictures. I did a printer head clean operation and ran a test sheet. The test sheet did not produce any yellow color, all the other colors looked fine. I use Adobe Elements 7 as my photo editor and I changed my color profile to Adobe RGB in Elements and on the printer, but that made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas as how to remedy this situation? I can't find anything at the HP website that addresses this.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If yellow is not printing in a test page it would indicate you need a new color cartrdige.

Are there Color issues with Gifs in Personal Java?

I am using the pjavawince-1_1-beta-arm implementation of Personal Java.(because that's the only one that seems to actually be readily available, but that's a different issue...)
I have a program that displays gif's, some with and some without transparency.
The gif's look fine when I run the program in emulation on my laptop, both in JSE JDK1.1.8_009 and in JME PJEE3.1. However when I run the program on my Pocket PC 2002 PDA, the images appear with a lower resolution or number of colors. When I load the same images into PocketIE on the PDA, they appear fine.
It appears that Personal Java is doing some sort of translation of the palette. For example, if a gif contains thirty shades of red, the personal java renders it with eight. Like the images are being remapped to a more generalized palette.
It doesn't appear to be a transparency issue, because the same problem occurs with both.
Does this problem occur for anyone else? Is it an issue of the Personal Java version or does it happen in both Personal Java 1.1.3 and 1.2? Is it an issue specific to Sun's Beta Personal Java VM? Does it happen in the Jeode JVM?

Could you please tell me where to find pjavawince-1_1-beta-arm? I can't find it on the personal java page.. just the ones for mips and sh3.. Thanks

Color Issues with Mini - DVI to DVI connection

Hello,
I just bought Samsung 2232BW. I thought it would be perfect for my both desktop pc and macbook (early 2006 version). In windows i could find the colors ok. But when i connect my mac to monitor with the dvi cable the colors are terrible. The colors are not matching with the macbooks lcd and montior. (greys are darker, green's are brighter.) i did find this post that says opposite of my words. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6984325) I tried for hours to calibrate the colors but i thought with the dvi cable connected montiors just a small calibration would be enough. Because of my job i cant ignore the color disorder at the view. Would there be a problem with my mini dvi - dvi converter? or should i buy the stuff that calibrates automaticly like "Pantone HUEY Pro"?
(I dont think the problem is because of the montior because i get quite good picture while my pc connected)

Do you have the correct HDMI input selected in the TVs menu...?
Aditionally, there might also be settings for connecting a PC to the TV.

Color Issues with exported JPGs

Hello,
This is my 1st post on the forums and hopefully someone can help. I am using a Dell 2407 24 inch LCD for photo processing. I have calibrated my monitor with Heey Pro 1.5. The custom profle loads at windows startup (I see the colors snap to the correct settings). I use Lightroom 2.6 and am running a Vista 64 bit PC. Everything is running great. However I have noticed that my files coming out of Lightroom look much more saturated color wise.
I'm a Photographer and shoot all photos in Canon RAW. Both cameras are set to sRGB. I then import the files into LR. When I'm done processing them, I export the files to JPG, 100 quality, sRGB. When I view them in windows, or through an image viewer or the web, the colors look much more saturated. My friend is running almost the exact same setup and his files look identical in LR, windows and in a web browser. What could be happening here? So as a result I think the files look good in LR but then when they are exported, the look way too saturated. What could be causing this???
Here's an example oo what I'm seeing: http://lifesharephoto.smugmug.com/photos/871756198_22ecN-L.png
Can someone please help me figure this out? Thank you!

It's your monitor. It is a wide gamut one (it probably has HC in the full name?), which means it has a response closer to adobeRGB than to the standard sRGB. When you use non color managed apps (such as internet explorer) on such a monitor and use sRGB, the image will appear oversaturated. You need to only judge color in color managed apps on such a monitor. Some browsers are color managed such as Firefox and Safari. Unfortunately Firefox does not know how to deal with profiles generated from the Huey Pro, so it will not color manage when you use that calibrator. Safari will always color manage. Other apps that color manage are Photoshop, Windows picture viewer (for Vista and later), Irfanview (latest versions), etc. On the Mac almost every program color manages.
