Unsorted Photos from May 2008 [Part 4]

[foxgrrl]

Stuff from May 2008 Technical note: I'm experimenting with using Imagemagick to generate these small (250x376) photos from the larger JPGs. This is because Adobe Lightroom is really, really, really slow when exporting to JPG from raw. It looks like all of the EXIF and IPTC metadata is intact — which is good — but there's a subtible colour shift between the large and small files, and so I think that the ICC profile is getting stripped. (Of course most people won't notice any of this, but I'm an obsessive perfectionist. Also I'm still doing all of my stuff a the "Mac" gamma of 1.8, not the "PC" gamma of 2.2, so everything is probable too dark for most of you.) photo, May 2008, Shpongle, Younger Brother, concert, Dresden Dolls, Vermillion Lies, cats, sky, clouds, people, wedding, party, San Francisco, CA, USA Julia Wolf Julia Wolf image/jpeg 2008 4_DSC1464_1024x680.jpg4_DSC1495_1024x680.jpg4_DSC1775_1024x680.jpg4_DSC1776_1024x680.jpg4_DSC1779_1024x680.jpg4_DSC1814_1024x680.jpg4_DSC1818_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2290_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2410_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2447_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2564_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2567_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2569_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2571_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2572_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2573_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2574_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2587_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2590_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2591_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2592_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2646_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2719_1024x680.jpg4_DSC2723_1024x680.jpg

I'm on a Mac, normally browsing with FF2... I was intrigued by your color-space comment, so I thought I'd look at the images in Safari as well.

Safari is the only browser on the market (AFAIK; certainly it's the only browser that also has any kind of market share) that respects color space data other than the sRGB space. Your images look pretty vibrant here, but sadly not so much in FF2/Mac.

I'm not a color-space expert, but I know the lead graphic designer at work is pretty emphatic about saving all web images in the sRGB colorspace (as Photoshop understands it) because that's the only one likely to be widely correct.

Wow, yeah. This is a great case example of why colourspace matters. (And also reminds me of hours and hours of war trying to get print colour matching to be even remotely close on Windows for design projects. sRGB to the "rescue." Oh gods the pain. Remember - the "s" stands for "sux!")
