[filmscanners] Re: Thumbnails looking flat

["Carolyn Frayn" <carolyn@carolyn.cc>]

IE for Mac is colorsync savy. IF and only if you have your prefs set to
accept the embedded profiles of images posted with them. (under web browser
> web content > page content)

All images with embedded profiles look the same on my monitor viewed thru IE
or thru PS.  Netscape hasn't implemented this yet as far as I can tell, so
the profiles are ignored.
