Re: D: Displaying Digitals

[Paul Stenquist]

A picture that looks good on a properly calibrated Mac looks good on a 
properly calibrated PC. The difference is minor, and a Mac can be 
switched to PC settings. If I'm real concerned about how a shot will 
look on PCs I switch the Gamma on my Mac to 2.2 (rather than the Mac 
standard of 1.8) and give it a look. PC gamma just makes everything a 
bit less bright. The difference falls within the range of subjective 
preference. But you can run a Mac on the PC settings without a problem. 
I keep it on 1.8 because it matches my printer output. But I know I 
should brighten things a tad for the web.

Seems the simplest approach is to acknowledge that only a small

your pictures poorly or you can make them look proper on a PC and then
only a small percentage (exact ratio could be argued) will see them
poorly.
It surely would have been nice of Bill Gates to pick the common
standard in the beginning.  Oh well, such is life.
