Spot the difference…2/2

Time Square, until we meet again…, originally uploaded by CeeKay’s Pix.

Now, compare the previous photo with this? Do you see a difference? If you are using Firefox, you would see a world of a difference. The 2 files have been embedded with different color profiles. I’ve been toying with using Adobe Lightroom 1.0 for Mac OS X and I have been exporting the my photos using either AdobeRGB (1998) or ProPhoto color spaces.

I was wondering why my photos turned out dull when viewed from Cheryl’s notebook when I fired up Firefox on my Mac and discovered the same issue as well.After Googling around, it turns out that AdobeRGB and ProPhoto is used for printing. For the best color reproduction on screen for most browsers (IE, Safari and Firefox), the graphic files should be saved under the sRGB color profile.Darn…this means that I would have to respost the New York photos all over again! Or maybe not…just download Safari 3.0 for (now for Mac and Windows!) to see photos as how I intended them to look like.

Entry from Apple Store New York

Greetings from Apple Store New York! I’m now in the mecca of mac-dom and I’m just so excited that my bladder is going to relax uncontrollably….

Hehehe….Cheryl calls this flagship, glass enclassed store my temple. I am glad that she sees the light of old wise one, aka the “Job”ness…

US Visa Interview and Application

Cheryl and I will be going to the US Embassy today for our US Visa application and interview. I must say that preparing for the application and interview is like mugging for an exam- there is a schedule that you need to keep, forms to fill, documents to dig out (especially if you are a guy), things to remember, etc.

According to the US Department of State website, all “aliens” have to prove that they do not intend to stay for an extended period of time and that they will return to their country of origin once they have completed their holidays, businesses or medical treatments in the United States.

I do hope that everything will go fine tomorrow- the tickets and travel arrangements are about to be confirmed, thanks to my employers who have graciously paid for the flight and accomodation, hahaha! Not too shaby a deal considering that I nearly missed the deadline in submitting my business plan for the Global SEED competition organized by Telenor. Being placed second is not too bad after they had agreed that I can convert my trip to the Maldives (why tropical beaches when Malaysia is full of them?) to the United States instead.

One more step and then US here we come!
