Up 'til that point, I was getting to like FSV for quick and dirty work. Yes, the CM box is checked in my Viewer settings. That doesn't sound right somehow but it is what happened, according to said readers (all two or three of them). Therefore, my readers' non-color managed browsers had assumed the sRGB default and rendered the images all the same. So, I looked in my files with the excellent ExifToolGUI and, to my horror, FastStone had stripped out all the profiles carefully embedded therein by my editor (Sigma Photo Pro). Embarrassingly, people said they all looked the same, even those with Chrome or older Explorers. Then I resized the images in FastStone Viewer and "saved as" JPEGs to post in a forum. I opened them in Explorer 8 (brushing the dust off it first) and, sure enough, each file looked different (screen shot): So, I took a raw file and saved it (not from FastStone) as an sRGB file, an Adobe RGB file and a ProPhoto (wide gamut) file. You know, the one about "I posted my picture but Explorer 8 shows it as dull and flat. The subject was color profiles and the consequences of not having one embedded in your masterpiece. This post is prompted by embarrassment suffered on another site
