Don't know since it is not listed in the "future lectures" section of
haifux.org. I think it was talked about for 7/6/2004, but that doesn't
make sense since there is already a (very interesting) lecture there.

Here you hit upon a real problem for which I have no real
solution. Digital photograph editing is at its core delicate and
requires careful calibration of your equipment. Even if I prepare the
images beforehand I can't possibly trust the quality, contrast or
calibration of the projector+computer I'll be using for the lecture.

For example:

The point of making a before-and-after image to show the importance of
gamma adjustment is to have the "after" image display interesting
information that was not visible in the "before" image.

My monitor is calibrated for my needs, so I can produce such an image on
my computer but I cannot say if the differences will be noticeable on a
different monitor (to say nothing of a projector).

Another possibility: 

I'd show a slide and explain its text. Then I would
load an image into GIMP and show the difference live. The serious
downside of this is that it is very time consuming and I end up looking
into the laptop for most of the lecture instead of talking to people. It
turns from a frontal lecture to a session in which people are invited to
"look over my shoulder" while I have some fun with GIMP.

As I said, I've no real solution.
