FOP is fun, even images brighten up?

Hi everybody,

please have a look at the attached files. I have a png image, which I place in a pdf. Without doing anything else, the image in the pdf is much brighter than the original image. I'm using the trunk.

Can anybody tell me:
Why is this image brighter?
How can I prevent that? 
Where should I place this question, if it is not a FOP issue?
Why always me?

Regards,
 
Georg Datterl

Hi Alex,

> when editing/preview the image in Photoshop you should activate menu => "View" => "Softproof" and also "View" => "Softproof 
> Settings" => "Monitor RGB"

Obviously the german commands would be ok, too. ;-) I'm not familiar with Photoshop, but would that make the images brighter in windows explorer or darker in FOP? And can whatever this settings do be achieved with fop, too? The same image I posted is also used by iText and in an iText generated PDF it looks (nearly) identical to the explorer view.

Hi Georg,

when editing/preview the image in Photoshop you should activate menu  
=> "View" => "Softproof" and also "View" => "Softproof Settings" =>  
"Monitor RGB"

(I am not quite sure about the correct translation, as my Photoshop is  
in german locale)

The same thing happens when editing images for viewing in a  web- 
browser.

Regards,

Alex

I'm not an expert, but I'd expect it to be down to the image's colour 
profile. Maybe the apache batik docs have futher information on how FOP 
manages colour profiles?
