That's not necessarily a bad thing :) More and more applications use the image rendering packages that Mac OS X provides rather than rendering images themselves ... Mac OS X provides built-in rendering for JPEG, TIFF, PDF, BMAP, GIF, JPEG 2000, PNG, and several other formats. Nearly all of these rendering routines take advantage of ColorSync, all all the sophisticated graphics apps that do their own rendering (like Photoshop) use ColorSync routines directly. BTW, I tested Rob's page against FireFox (v1.0, I think, but I've got to check the build) this morning and found that it failed to honor the profiles. The results don't look like what Rob gets on W2K, however ... I'll have to get a setup going again with latest versions of Opera, OmniWeb, Netscape, Mozilla, FireFox, etc to get a clear picture of the Mac OS X rendering situation again. The last time I tested FireFox it did the right thing, according to my notes, so this result was surprising. Godfrey
