I have both a Mac and PC at work [and a PC at home, which is what I did the image processing with]. On my Mac at work, if I use the standard iMac video setup in System Preferences [1.8 Standard Gamma], she looks a little on the green side and washed out. If I use the 2.2 Television Gamma video setup, she looks better. If I use No Correction [native] Gamma, she looks as I intended, with normal skin color and no washed out colors. All of these settings are with a white point of 9300. When I compare the best iMac image against the same images displayed on my PC monitor, the colors on the PC have more snap and look truer to my original intent. REST OF THE LUG: This is *NOT* to get into a PC vs. Mac flame-war-thread; I am simply observing what I see on the two systems that are side-by-side in front of me. *YOUR* mileage may vary. ;-) ;-) BIG ;-) I believe this subject has been covered in the past on the LUG and is available in more detail in the archives. Hope that helps you understand why I posed the question about whether you were using a Mac. ;-) /Mitch +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Mon, 08 July 2002, Mark Rabiner wrote > Yep Mitch!
