If you're on a PC using Firefox 3.5 or later or IE under Vista, or you're on a Mac using Safari, then the images in my album will look as I intended them, and this image will look too dark. If you're on a Mac using Firefox 3.5 or earlier, then this image will look good but the rest of my album will look washed out; switch to Safari to view the album. Fortunately, as more of the digital world becomes properly color managed, these problems are gradually disappearing.
