Color Madness

February 16th, 2007 by artillery unit

I recently started some design work using my mac laptop and I’ve gotten obsessed with getting proper color rendering from Photoshop. I found this useful article which pointed me in the right direction. I’m still not completely satisified. I still notice a very miniscule color shift in Save For Web preference. The solution that seemed to work the best for me was to download this Colorsync profile for my Mac.

Here is an interesting discussion from one of Safari regarding png color shifts in the browser. Apparently Safari has a hard time rendering png’s with no color profiles.

I also started experimenting with Gamma Slamma which is basically a version of PNGCrusher for the Mac.

Update: I got myself a Huey at the Apple store today, and have been pretty happy with it so far, although I need to run more tests. I also found this cool calibration print from Smugmug.
