You got it in one. I check out the pics on my web site on a PC and I shudder. I've read into it and there seems to be 3 options if you are publishing a web site from a Mac. 1/ Ignore the anomaly completely and do nothing for PC users viewing your site. 2/ When processing your shots for the web, lighten them up a bit. This way they will be a tad light when viewed on a Mac and a tad dark when viewed on a PC. Not ideal. 3/ Duplicate all relevant sections of the site containing galleries or pics, and give the viewer the choice to click on 'View on a Mac' or 'View on a PC'. This last option is something I will get around to doing one day! Have I missed anything? I always do....
