hmm... what im tring to say is:

does ImageGlass support Color Management?

Color Management:

Color Management is a system developed to maintain consistent colors in digital 
rendering from one device (or medium) to another. These devices can range 
anywhere from a printer, to a projector, to a computer screen. Generally 
speaking, the term color management refers to the use of color profiles, also 
called color spaces. How do color profiles accomplish this task? Each device 
may use a different method to render an image. Therefore without any sort of 
color translations, images that look fine on one device may have drastic color 
shifts when viewed on another. However through profile conversions an image can 
be 'translated' to a color language the end device understands. In some cases 
the translation is not perfect and images can be compared - or proofed - for 
color and contrast changes that manifest themselves due to device differences.

Color 'mis-management': Most devices these days are color managed, meaning they 
have color profiles associated with them to allow for proper image rendering. 
However despite the advances in color management, one of the more popular 
devices used - the internet - can be though of as generally lacking color 
management. Yet saying the 'internet lacks color management' is a bit of a 
misnomer, because it is not the internet per se where the problem lies, but 
rather how we view the internet: through web browsers. 

To date, only a minority of web browsers contain color management features. 
Apple was a pioneer with their web browser Safari. Firefox recently followed 
suit, however current versions of Firefox have left this as an advanced 
feature*. The web browser used by almost half of internet users - Internet 
Explorer - still lacks this feature, as do other web browsers such as Opera and 
Netscape. Whether the development of this feature is on the horizon for these 
and other browsers remains to be seen.
