Bridgewater, ConnecticutAma is the homecare aide who takes care of my 93 year old mother-in-law 24/7. She asked me to take a picture of her in the snow—SNOW—to send to her two children who are going to school back in Ghana. I'm more than happy to oblige and hope we can send links to them to find it here. We'll send ink-on-paper prints by snail.

Carl: the last couple of enlarged versions of your WP series have been saved for web presentation in ProPhoto colourspace. I first noticed it on the gloves-in-car photo. Where a browser is used that cannot reflect this, which is (I suspect) the case with the majority of us, this is what is seen - though which one is "wrong", the picture or the viewer's choice of browser, is of course very much open to interpretation!
Happy shot, btw.

Richard, I was afraid it was too early to switch the posts up from sRGB. I'll go back to my old batch action.
Seem that we Firefox users are a lucky bunch...
Markus, current version of Safari (part of Mac OS) is also compliant and just to check I switched back and forth on a ProPhoto-based blog post and can see no difference. But I guess an awful lot of the installed user base still has trouble with ProPhoto-tagged files, so no point in excluding potential audience.
Once colour profile function becomes a default requirement for all browsers, this issue goes away. A year or two yet. But meanwhile, not everyone even has a say over the browser used - for example in the corporate world - or even the awareness to "turn on" colour management where it is available; so for now compliance is bound to be patchy.
ProPhoto was easy to pick up, but AdobeRGB is typically less obvious.
My thanks to Carl for his care and attention over this - RP
