Mind you, I had a color-managed sRGB monitor before this one (Dell U2311H) and the unsaturated colors in chrome to me seem even less saturated as compared to that monitor. I just want the colors to be consistent, at least for me, so I'm wondering how should I set up my workflow given that I mostly edit raw files which will be exported to sRGB and displayed on the web? I have no idea which output will be seen, because it depends on the application and application settings. So, my issue is with color managed vs unmanaged applications. Ok, now it looks like it did in Photoshop, but all the other colors in Chrome are muted as well. But if I change the settings of the #force-color-profile to 'Unmanaged' instead of sRGB, then I get this (chrome left, photoshop right): Then I get this (chrome on left, photoshop on right):Īgain, oversaturated. If I go to chrome://flags and force the sRGB color profile (which I did because if I don't everything looks super washed out and unsaturated) If I open the image in IrfanView (left) and overlay it on top of the image open in Photoshop (right), the same thing happens. It should look oversaturated as compared to the file open in Photoshop.

Now, since the rendering of the image colors is dependent on your browser and browser settings (more on that later), if you don't see a shift in colors, download the image from here ( ) and open it in MS Paint for example. That is, until you check the saved image, which gets oversaturated and color shifted: I save it for web, convert it to sRGB and embed the profile:

Just to check, here's the dialog from Edit > Assign Profile:ītw images like this (above) are screenshots with the Windows Snipping tool, and the image is open in Photoshop on a white background. I do this because I've learned that it's best to start with the widest possible color space before applying any edits, and then when you're done with your edits in that wide color space, compress everything to the output color space, which in my case is sRGB. I usually edit raw files and open them as ProPhoto RGB 16bits TIFF files, either via Lightroom I tried calibrating and profiling with X-Rite's i1 Profiler and Displa圜al, but both gave inferior results (to my eye), and the EIZO support guys also said to ditch those and use CN6 instead.

I calibrated the monitor with the software that came with it (Color Navigator 6), and the hardware calibrator was i1 Display Pro. Tech info: Win7 (64-bit), GeForce 760 GTX, EIZO CS 2730 monitor. I don't print my stuff (yet) and I create mainly for the web, and therefore export everything in sRGB. I am a photographer, but honestly - color management isn't my strong suit.
