I prefer to do my web design stuff on my MAC and I use Windows for photoshop (mainly because it is my desktop and I have yet to spend the money on the MAC version of Photoshop). Here is my problem. If I make a title in Windows photoshop and use it on a web page the colors don't see to match even though I use the same web designation. At first I thought it was just that my Apple monitor wasn't calibrated and then I realized that couldn't be it since the web page and title background don't match evne though they are the same. If it was the monitor you would think the difference in color would translate equally. Any one got any suggestions on how to make the colors match or if there is even a way to. [Link] |

A photo that looks "right" on a PeeCee will be washed out, fucked up and funky everywhere else. Windows gamma is serverly fucked and will fuck you every chance it gets. This is why Macs are used for pre-press and other color critical applications. [Link] |

Usually I go through several color choices till I get one that I think is right for what i am doing so I will go back and make sure I didn't choose colors that are a little to "off the beaten path" apparently.

I've gotten around it by just manually compensating for the difference everytime. This means changing the saturation by 3-4 points and tuning the lightness and contrast slightly. [Link] |
