Save For Web and Gamma...

Not sure how many of you end up doing much with graphics. But just in case, I thought I'd share something I learned today. If you save an image as a png using the save for web dialog, your images will turn out slightly darker in IE and I think safari (I'm pretty sure, hopefully someone will verify that soon) unless you set it up properly. Firefox does not have the same problem.

First off, any images or graphics that are web-bound should use an sRGB embedded color profile. In the save for web dialog you need to go to the small right arrow at the top right of the image preview box and select "Use Document Color Profile".

You can see what will happen by going to http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/png-gammatest.html in IE6. If someone would test it out in Safari, I'd be most grateful.
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
