Workflow for web pages

I’ve used PS7.01 for some work with some images from my digital camera. Working with sRGB, the images look just as I want them to using Mozilla on the Windows box I created them on. I (think I) understand the concepts behind colour managed applications like PS and non colour managed ones

Mozilla. Mozilla shows what I want to see.

As it happens my monitor has two inputs, and the second input is connected to my Linux box. When I look at the images using Mozilla on the Linux box, the images are darker – quite significantly so. So what, I ask myself, is the difference between looking at the images using Moz under Windows and looking at the same images, on the same monitor, using the same

on Linux? The answer, I’m guessing, is the Adobe Gamma utility. When Windows boots the screen switches to a lighter display, which I’ve always assumed is the gamma utility kicking in.

Given that my monitor and printer are in broad agreement about colours (my prints look mostly like the screen), I’m loathe to tweak that gamma setting. I do everything in sRGB, so I’d have thought the Linux view of my images would pretty much match the Windows view. And I think it would, except that the gamma utility is making my Windows display lighter than sRGB. Linux doesn’t understand colour management, so I’d consider the

display to be "bog standard" and similar to any other display used by the people who are going to look at my images.

I’d like to be able to see, under Windows, the images like they’ll be seen on Linux, or on any other display unaffected by Adobe Gamma. So where is the flaw in my workflow (or thinking)?

I think it is a Linux problem (saying that as a Microsoft hater…), try google to find a tool like Adobe Gamma. I wouldn’t recommend disabling Adobe Gamma (unless you’re using other software for that purpose of course).

But wouldn’t the problem apply to anyone viewing my web pages on Windows who isn’t running Abode Gamma? i.e. most people?

AFAICS the problem is that I’m using Adobe Gamma when creating images which will be viewed (on all sorts of platforms) without it.
