Hi, Is there a way to determine the "screen" result on all PC? I use a good laptop and pics are "light" and seems looking good , but on other comp the same pics looks dark. Is there a way to solve that ? Thanks Laurent

I don't know... But generally a lap top (or any flat screen for that matter) will show a picure brighter than a CRT monitor. Usually, the colors appear a little more "saturated" and warmer as well. A good CRT monitor like a Trinitron will usually get the most "realistic" result. Many monitors have settings for color saturation, contrast and such things. There are numerous programs that can run a test on your monitor to determine if you have the proper setting. I don't have a link available right now, but do a Google search for "monitor color test" or something like that and you will find quite a few good ones.

thanks

I use LCD monitors exclusively for an eye prob and I run into this all the time. One of my monitors is extra dark so I try it out on that one last. Rule of thumb is assume that the picture is at least 25% lighter than on most crt monitors. Except Mac's, they used to have bright light monitors. Don't worry excessively, there's no way to approximate everyone's viewing. No one type of monitor will ever register the same. Right off the assembly line they are all different. It mostly shows up to disadvantage in a very very dark picture. Emily

ok thanks.

If you have Photoshop, use the Adobe Gamma thingy to set up your screen. mac

Don't forget that many graphics cards have their own brightness/gamma settings, also, independent of the monitor.
