The JPEGs generated from Photoshop CS Automate->Web Photo Gallery do not have the images ICC profile embedded in them. If I ‘Save As Web…’ they do have the ICC profile. I am wedded to the automated generation of my photo galleries. What do I need to do to get Photoshop CS to generate a Web Photo Gallery with ICC embedded profiles? If it just doesn’t work then are there inexpensive photo gallery generator plug-ins that ‘do the right thing’.

Thanks

Just a question: Why would you want to do that? No browser can read the profiles anyway.

There was a program which enabled Windows IE to use embedded ICC profiles but I can’t find a link to it at the moment.

Why do you want to embed a profile? It just makes the file bigger and most web browsers ignore the information anyway.
If you are trying to make the image appear the way you wish on the viewer’s screen try converting to sRGB before you do the photo gallery. This seems to be the profile most browsers assume the file is tagged with.
I created an action which converts to sRGB, resizes to web viewing size and stores as a moderately compressed jpeg. Then when using the photo gallery feature I just set it to leave the original alone and just make thumbnails and web pages.

Really what I want to do is keep my PSD files in ProPhoto or Adobe1998 and have the web gallery transform the images to sRGB before saving the JPG. I think I want to do this because I think the colours will be better – at the moment the colours from the web site are washed out in comparison with those on my screen. However, I haven’t found a way to do hack the web photo gallery stuff to achieve my aims. Since Safari and IE for the Mac do read the profiles I decided to opt for embedded ICC profiles. Ideally though I’d just like to add a colourspace transform before the web photo gallery plug-in runs.

Yeah, I should’ve said most browsers. 😉

In any case, the info Robert gives you is the correct way to go about it. Retaining the profiles, given that most browsers do not use the info just makes larger files for no purpose.

That is more like what I actually wanted. I’ll give that a shot.

Thanks very much

It’s safer to say that Safari and Explorer for Mac *can* read the profiles. It’s an option that is switched off by default–and frankly, I have never known anyone, anywhere, to switch it on.
