Firefox Supports Colour Correction

Mark Greenwood Team : Web Development Tags : Web Development

Did you know that Firefox supports colour correction? Colour correction was introduced into Firefox 3, but was disabled by default. In Firefox 3.5 some issues were resolved and it is now enabled by default.

Long time developers will know how frustrating it is when you slice up a design only to see it in a browser and the colours aren't quite right.

Usually a washed out version. Images that have a colour profile embedded will now appear exactly as the designer intended. You can also set a specific profile to use for your hardware.
