Are you seeing the right colours?

I was recently using a computer when I noticed that the photos on my blog were looking really disappointing. Washed-out, blah, and lacking the life that I saw when I was editing them in Photoshop. I took a peek on another computer, and saw that they were looking as lovely as they did in my desktop programs. After a little consultation and research, I learned that my preferences in Firefox were not managing colour correctly. Is your browser set up to display the true images? Several of my friends’ weren’t, and after completing a few simple steps, we were relieved and excited to see images on my blog (and across the internet) as they were meant to be viewed.
To ensure your computer is displaying the right colours, just follow these simple instructions. Note that these work only in Firefox, and only in versions 3+. (Sidebar: If you aren’t using Firefox, please download it. It is free and wonderful.)
- Type “about:config” into the address bar
- Find “gfx.color_management”
- Double click until it switches from “false” to “true”
- Restart Firefox

Where can we Download firefox from?
Thanks so much for this!! I was recently looking at some photos at work that I already edited and posted and freaked because I thought they looked so weird! Went home, checked the Mac, and the website and they looked good again! I’ll have to recalibrate!
