When saving an image for display on the web via Internet Explore (Mac & Win) – should I embed a color profile like sRGB in the image or not?
No.
Does IE recognize color profiles?
Yes, at least in the Mac version of Explorer–IF you edit IE’s preferences to use color profiles. Last time I checked, nobody does this.
Of course, my aim is to have the image look on the Web page like it does on my monitor displayed by PS 7
Forget it. It ain’t gonna happen.
In order for this to happen, every Web user would have to correctly profile his or her system, AND enable color profiling in his or her Web browser.
I’d say you’d be lucky if 3% of the computers out there are correctly profiled. I’d also say you’d be lucky if one one-hundredth of one percent of Web users have correctly profiled their system and have turned on color management in Explorer.
So, to be blunt: There is nothing you can do to control the way color will apeear on your user’s display. Sorry.
