Hi BD,
Me old friend well offered!  As far as I'm concerned with digital 
images/computer screens of varying sizes from small, semi-big, bigger and 
monsters! None calibrated all at the same time, same location, same ambient 
light, screen maker and each of our eye balls as we look at any  screen!

Every one of them show an image looking "different!" I don't mean in mega 
difference, lots of little variations that create whining messages beyond 
the wildest numbers simply because all this electronic stuff creates 
"OVER-TECHIE FOLKS"  rather than a bunch of guys and gals looking at one 
paper print all at the same time! Same location, same light etc.

My method is my own old simple manner.... It comes on screen and everything 
is auto fix - click!

If it looks cool or better than right out of the camera it stays. I don't 
fiddle, or so little it's all eye ball. If when I click "Auto-Colour" and it 
goes crappy looking? I go back to original and 99% of the time it stays like 
that  and folks pay my Gallery Agent a fine dollar for them.

I smile and say a prayer! Simply because it's all about the "KISS THEORY OF 
LIFE!" :-) Just got to love it! :-)

Screen to screen constant comparing?????? Dang near a complete waste of your 
time. What's important is??????

"That the screen in front of you is the most important and to hell with all 
the others!"

cheers,
Dr. ted
Oh and the techie folk are going to have me for lunch!!! ;-) :-)
