I would like to understand this. If a customer asks we do do image recompression to save space, and strip metadata (this is one of our services) but would like to know what this is about.
- Kalium 11y agoMy experience in web-dev is that browser support for color profiles is dodgy at best. Much like alpha in PNGs. It's usually wiser to not rely on occasionally-supported features. PNG alpha in particular was a nightmare for me. After that I knew to look out for the pain caused by occasionally-supported features in images.
- billyhoffman 11y agoThis "much like alpha in PNGs" makes it sound like you think this is a recent problem we still have to deal with. It's not: http://caniuse.com/#feat=png-alpha http://caniuse.com/#feat=png-alpha PNG alpha transparency was a problem with the decade old IE6. And even then IE6 worked fine with PNG8 images that had alpha transparency. IE7 and IE8 required a 1 line style attribute to work 100% with PNG + alpha, and IE9 did away with that need altogether.
