Sonny, 

I'm looking at your remixes on the Dell laptop at my job. They look
good, but I can't tell how they'll compare to what I see on the G5 imac
at home where I did them. Tell me something that has bothered me since I
first started posting stuff to the web 2 months ago: what, if anything,
do I need to do to my files, in downsizing them and converting to jpegs,
to keep the look of mac gamma in a windows world?

Or is the problem that I'm not reading the LCD monitor properly? I find
myself tilting it back and forth trying to interpret how the image
should look. Since I got the G5 I find I always have to run 2-3 proof
prints to get what I think I'm seeing onscreen. 

If anything, I overtweaked in PS, and I'm certain I could have done a
better scanning job. I have a KM scan dual IV that, so far, has only
seen PanF+ and Tmx100. I've never used the grain-dissolve software
before, and now, going back into it, I see I bollixed that.

Thanks for your help, and concern, with this.

Webcluelessly yours,

Arche
