[APML] Color profiles

[Rick Thurmond <thurmond@saber.net>]

Color profiles, also called ICC profiles, are used to provide consistent 
color representations among different computers.  They can be embedded 
in JPEG images, and are automatically put in by Photoshop when you Save 
For Web.  When posting images to your web sites, do most people embed 
profiles?  Have you profiled your monitor?

I use a Mac, where software to handle profiles (Colorsync) is built into 
the operating system, so browsers and all other graphically-oriented 
programs use them.  Is that true in the Windows world also?

Sometimes I notice that a rather bad looking image is loading, then at 
the end it snaps into the correct colors and I know the profile was 
embedded.
