Re: Some Jpeg images not displaying correctly
You need to make sure you have a local color profile that actually matches your display if you want to see color-corrected images.
The simplest way in Windows to correct this is to use the "calibrate color" wizard in your display properties. If you have an incorrect or unset color profile, you can end up with incorrect colors in images that have a color profile embedded.
The "explanation" in your last screenshot is actually incomplete. If embedded profiles are ignored, then you will see an uncorrected image (often with slightly different colors but not too far removed from the intended color). If embedded profiles are not ignored but your color calibration isn't set or unknown/wrong, then your colors may be wildly wrong (as you have seen). Only if you have a profile AND the embedded color information is used, you will see the proper image as-intended by the photographer.
When calibrated, the image will display properly in Pale Moon:

Re: Some Jpeg images not displaying correctly
If this were a color profile issue, then both Firefox and Chrome would also display the image incorrectly, wouldn't they?
I have the correct color profile set for my monitors:
and re-ran calibration but see no significant changes.
*edit: I tried ticking "use my settings for this device" but no change. Installed palemoon on Ubuntu (same machine) and the photo displays normally.
**edit: You were correct, Overriding the Samsung profile with the calibrated profile has cleared this up. Strange it was only present in Pale Moon, that I have noticed. Thanks for fixing this "non-bug" for me!

Re: Some Jpeg images not displaying correctly
No, because Firefox I believe still doesn't do ICCv4 to this day, and I'm not sure if Chrome does any color profiling at all, probably not.modball wrote:If this were a color profile issue, then both Firefox and Chrome would also display the image incorrectly, wouldn't they?
