[thelist] Why does BrowserCam show different colors? (Was: Is BrowserCam costing...)

[Ed McCarroll]

Some toys are really fascinating.  This certainly isn't an important
question, but ...

I noticed that the BrowserCam rendition of one of my sites (IE6, W2K)
was colored a bit differently from what I saw in my own browser
(IE6.2, W2K), and wondered why.  I supposed that the lossy compression
of a .JPG was a factor, and sure enough, when I re-rendered the
BrowserCam version as a .BMP, the colors rendered more "accurately".
But there is still a small difference, and I'm wondering if it could
be a difference between the almost identical browser versions.

I posted screenshots, and wonder if anyone cares to comment.  The
.BMPs are 1.4MB, but they show the difference more accurately than
the 127KB .JPGs.

Thanks again for the great tool.

(Enough playing - time to get back to work)
