Safari 6 color shift issue

Sorry--clicked the wrong post to reply to.

Please see other post--can't seem to delete this.

Sorry--I'm reposting this as a reply to rj-vlj(instead of llirik K) -- as he (rj-vlj) was the one using the older versions of Safari and Mac OS, but it seems to link back as a reply to llirik K instead again.

llirik K posted after my post of this, that he was using the same updates that I am--though I'm no longer seeing this issue, and he is. So I don't understand that.

@rj-vlj: Here's the help I found anyway (again):

I'd been having this same issue and have left comments in another thread re: this also. I believe one of the latest OS updates has corrected the issue with Safari. I'm now running Safari 6.0.5, and Mac OS 10.8.4.

I'd had different saved parts of one single photo image, created in Photoshop, all sharing the exact same color profile (which was one of the troubleshooting suggestions to check on in the other thread here)--inserted into a web page (actually a few similar occurances of this) where randomly, one or two of the images would appear darker or slightly off in color calibration from what I had on my end (locally on my computer, in Photoshop and in Dreamweaver).

I've never seen or heard an acknowledgement from Apple, but one day it went away--and I suspected it was due to one of the updates. If you're running Safari 6.0.2 and OS 10.8.2, I'd suggest updating those and see what you see. Likely you'd want to clear your cache as well before rechecking the same images.

Hope that helps.

… thx anandaguy for your post.

Yes, running latest OSX (Safari 6.0.5, and Mac OS 10.8.4), color shift is also present. And yes I know as a web developer; cache systems can be a b-i-t-c-h…

Fact: Color shift issue is always present in current OSX.

@ru-vlj: This may not be a clear cut issue (not that it ever was). As I posted before I'm using the very same version of Safari and OSX system you mentioned in your last reply (note that in your original reply from the other day, you'd referenced an earlier configuration). However I'm on a late 2007 or 2008 (purchasd in February 2008) iMac Intel 20" (as opposed to your 17") if that happens to make any difference with model.

I still am no longer having that color shift issue. I just checked a site where I'd had it before and it's still looking similar all across all of the various "puzzle piece" sections of recomposited jpegs (separate sections of an original image I disected in Photoshop, and reuploaded on my page side-by-side, and above/below each other).

I know I, along with so many others, was so very frustrated with this color shift issue. And to my chagrin was concerned about how to explain it to my client(s) as well--should they run across it, feeling it might've appeared to reflect back on my own work.

I have to say, I along with many others here as well, am not at all happy with the way Apple has handled (or not handled) dealing with this issue--or (to my knowledge) communicated with us, when so many people have brought it before their attention.

But as I've shared--for me, it seems to have cleared up. I can't imagine why that would be so for one (or some of us) while not the rest, absent of system updates which would/might have "fixed" the issue in Safari.

Sorry that you've still got it . . . and hope I never see it again!

BTW--I'm assuming that you're only having this issue in Safari, and not in other apps or browsers, right?

I have two machines, each of them is connected to different display. the one with the apple display connected didn't have any problems, but the second which I recently bought with yama display had..... After display calibration which i did using spider the problem in Safari disappeared . I guess spider did reset the video card and did tune it all up, did something to the card, dunno.....

This phenomenon appears for me just as you've explained it (to confirm your findings) and as well, the color matchup looks perfect in Dreamweaver where I'm assembling the images and links--there is no distinguishing demarcation between the inserted link images and their "parent" surrounding image(s).
