Browsers rendering photos badly?

Fenster

I noticed recently that several colour-intensive photos I uploaded rendered really badly in Firefox, Opera and IE, the were displayed with a lot of the colour stripped out of them. As near as I can tell they are all standard jpg files worked on in Photoshop CS. Safari and Konqueror of all browsers (I gather they've shared code) render these photos correctly. As someone who's entirely dependent on the web for people to come and see my photos, it's an issue. I've put up a comparison shot of Firefox and Safari displaying the same photo on Flickr.

Am I going insane?

The only thing I can think of is that Safari is using colour management ahd irefos isn't. That's a wild guess. I recently got SpyderExpress to calibrate my monitor and find that Photoshop (which automatically uses the new colour space) shows the pics correctly but they look different in the browser (Firefox). I still find this whole colour management thing confusing so I could be talking pure sh1t.

Could it be the colour space you're using is Adobe RGB rather than sRGB. I believe some browsers like IE can only recognise sRGB.

sRGB


AdobeRGB

Safari is the only browser that supports colour spaces, if you upload in any space other than sRGB then the browser just 'best guesses' what to do display, to this end I have an action that changes my 16 bit Adobe RGB files to 8 bit sRGB files.
That's the only thing I can think of!

Aye, conversion to sRGB did the trick, cheers!

EDIT: Go Edit-> Convert to Profile and select sRGB
