Could some knowledgeable person explain to me why, when viewing

on Safari, the pictures appear to be photographic "negatives",
whereas switching to Firefox, the appear in normal colours?

The obvious oddity is that they're CMYK images instead of RGB. Opening
them in Preview and then "inverting" the image still doesn't look quite
right.

That's odd!

Safari and Preview display them inverted, but FF, Opera and Photoshop
get them right.

They're missing a colour profile. I've never seen this before.

I do recall that Safari does honour colour profiles in images, so maybe
that's the important difference.

Well, so does FF, but even after embedding a CMYK profile, the image is
still inverted in Safari and Preview.

Must be something else...
