Wrong Colors in IE8 at Windows 7

Post by osn »

I have a problem when going to my website with Windows 7 using IE8.
The problem is that some photos at my website seem to render with the wrong colors.
If I open up the same photo with Firefox it's rendering the colors right.
If I rightclick the photo in IE8 and saves it, then it open up like it should.

Try here with both IE8 and Firefox. The frog should be Red with blue legs:

Here is an explaination for the problem that didn't made me understand the problem:

Anyone who can help me out how I should solve this problem? Is it possible to somehow force IE8 to use a special colorprofile when using my website or how should I solve it for all Vista/Win7 + IE8 surfers visiting my site???

Tell all your visitors to get a real browser like Firefox...

JK, it seems the photo may have been worked on in PS as that article says that you can embed profiles in images in PS or some other program and it will appear diff. in diff. viewers, if it was touched by it you may want to open it and remove the extra profile stuff...

Must be why I only use paint.NET for photo work... ;)

My problem is that I created these images with tags and all 3 yrs ago and I don't feel like saving them again just because Microsoft thinks that is good idea.

So if someone knows a solution for this problem, please help me out, and I will get rid of requests for fixing it.

Hi,

You might have a look at JeremyBASS's new SuperSizer plugin, announced here:
  http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,38094.0.html

Put simply, the plugin allows you to manipulate images in various ways "on the fly" and cache the results for reuse.  I've been testing version RC 0.9 with the Gallery module to automatically reduce the size of uploaded photos that are unreasonably large. It has worked well and been quite stable, at least for me.  ;)

Hope this helps,
Fred

Didn't try that one out, seems neat, but didn't solve my current problems with diffrent colorprofiles in IE8/Firefox for people using Windows 7/Vista

But it might help me out with redoing all photos. Thank you fredp
