I have never experienced the color problem. On the monitor issue, I have a Mac with Sony Trinitons (20" & 17"). I use the 20" for the main window (4 pane view, Menus, buttons, camera controls, etc.) and the 17" for my brower, sequencer & property trays. I have those 3 set to where they take up all of the 17" monitor. I have never had any problems with this arrangement. I am using an ATI Xclaim VR (8mb vid ram) for the 17" and an ATI Xclaim VR 128 (16MB of vid ram) for the 20". In fact, I transfer the scenes between this and my laptop (so I can continue rendering at work when time permits) and although I am limited to a single monitor on the laptop, the layout is always correct for whichever one I am using. I figured when I went from a scene saved on the laptop to my desktop, I would have to re-arrange the windows, but it keeps track of it for me. I guess that is one thing Carrara does better than other rendring apps I have played with. Vern
