[QUOTE="louishen, post: 608357, member: 40142"] I will tell you the reason, tho eliehas hinted at it. The default gamma setting in Macs is 1.8. This is the best set-up if you are producing graphics for print and since the Mac traditionally had creative core users , apple set-up the OS to make colour accuracy for design a default out of the box. Windows uses a default gamma of 2.2 - closer to the gamma for a TV and gives the monitor a darker hue. This is fine if you like it but would mean that for design the colours you are choosing on screen will not nearly match printed colours in the real world [/QUOTE]
