ArthurDent Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi, I have a problem when i open a png created with paint.net in IE. I create a image filled with the color #C8BBBB, and save it in png. When i open it in firefox or gimp, no problem, it's well rendered, with true colors. But when i open it in IE (6 or 7), the color change a little bit (render to #C2B4B4). If i open this image with gimp and save it again, then IE shows me true colors. If i reopen it with paint and resave, the problem is back. any idea? PS : sorry for my poor english, it's not my mother tongue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITMAN-X- Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 If you are using an old version of IE then upgrade as there has been problems with IE and PNGs for old versions like IE5. The new IE7 so far from what I can tell has all the PNG bugs worked out. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah, IE6 and earlier don't work with PNG transparency. If you're running a computer that can use the newest version of PDN, then your computer can also get IE7. Though I'm loathe to recommend IE of any flavor, if you must use IE, and you have admin rights to your machine, I'd suggest upgrading to version 7. Edit: Meh, one of these days, I'm going to learn to read the entire post before answering... Anyway, IE7 still renders PDN-generated PNGs darker than their actual color. PNGs made with some other programs don't seem to have this problem. Rick would have to elaborate as to why.

Rick Brewster Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Rick would have to elaborate as to why. It's related to gamma correction, as far as I remember. I remember the old Paint.NET logo looked darker in IE6.

HITMAN-X- Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Belive it or not it can also be the screen your using as well as I found out. I made a website once and the color of the back ground image was darker then the HTML background color on my CRT. Looked at it on my LCD and the background color of the image was the same as the HTML background color. It just one of them things I guess. But still if your going to be using IE then keep up to date. I myself use IE and Firefox at times. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
