Okay, I tried the following experiment. Bear in mind that what I am trying to do, not necessarily as a final approach (since the following experiment doesn’t provide good proof of final appearance on a PC), but just try to find the right settings so that an image in PS matches an image in Netscape.
I set the color profile to Monitor-RGB. I open an image with a sRGB IE61966-2.1 profile, but discarded the profile as the image was opened. I then opened the same image in Netscape. My theory was that by discarding the profile I was replicating what Netscape would do anyway, and by using Monitor-RGB I would be using the Monitor’s basic color system.
Do the images match? No. They don’t. This is driving me crazy. The image in PS is a little darker, although the color isn’t really different, and the PS image is much grainier. The image looks better in Netscape. It is smoother and shows better contrast in low contrast portions of the image where the PS image washes out into very dark grain.
What’s going on? How do I get the image in PS and Netscape to match identically. This should be possible for heaven’s sake. How else do people use PS to do professional work?
Thank you very much.
