Meh, it's a good smell test. If a given tool doesn't even get sRGB correct, there's probably several dozen other ways the designer failed to understand how graphics work.

Today I can just pop the first image on this page <http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/gamma.html> into an image editor. If I don't see the Dalai Lama after downscaling, it's probably a poor quality editor beside its sRGB fail. It's like Van Halen's M&Ms.




Remove the extraneous angle bracket to fix the link.

Mac OS X's exposé does some funky stuff to that image :)


Surprising that HN includes the angle bracket as part of the link... I'm pretty sure using angle brackets like that to delineate a link is recommended in some major RFC...

Fixed link here, thanks: http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/gamma.html
