Be a little wary of uploading images to platforms that strip out the profile, though these will not typically be photo gallery sites. Embedding or stripping out profiles usually only requires you to check or uncheck a box when saving. Be sure not to overwrite the original file and save it this way, because larger color spaces are a better choice for outputs such as inkjet printing.
Color management needs at least two profiles to work image profile and monitor profile in this case. When color management is absent from the browser or app for whatever reason, the following statements are true:.
Note that an Adobe RGB image without a profile embedded looks muted in most situations and must be avoided. Browsers will guess the color space to be sRGB if they guess at all. The graph above shows the difference between a standard-gamut Dell monitor colored outline and the sRGB profile dotted outline.
Even on a regular desktop monitor, some colors are quite likely to exceed the sRGB color space and look too saturated when viewed in Microsoft browsers. To understand color profiles, it helps to know how different browsers behave with color. I tested five browsers for this article to give you an idea of what to expect. Feel free to query this if you think any of these observations are wrong:. It reads all embedded profiles. Opera is a color-managed browser that automatically assumes photos to be sRGB if the profile is missing.
You can configure Firefox to assign sRGB to any untagged photo. It reads all embedded color profiles. If you happen to run two monitors, Firefox does not maintain full color management across both of them. TheChymera TheChymera 1 1 gold badge 2 2 silver badges 3 3 bronze badges. Add a comment.

Ok, it seems completely sensible that I don't need a color profile for web-destined images. Why would I need it for other images? TheChymera stereonet. In order to navigate between these points and any other point you need to know: where you are where you want to go what to do with the bits that exceed this conversion called intent So since intent is bundled with the CMS engine Color Management Systm settings of the image, you need to know two points the images profile and the target profile.
Why not encode all in sRGB? Summa summarum So if the image is not for web store the images defined working space and dont convert it until you need to if you want to retain as much data as possible.
