Pictures darker on Windows machines
The photos (created on my Mac) that I publish on a web site or send via email look just fine on my Mac. If I look at the same pictures on a Windows machine, they look darker. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there something that I can do to make them appear the same on both platforms? I mostly use iPhoto to import and manipulate the photos.
Thanks.
Thanks.

On a Windows machine, you need to load the color profile (sometimes part of the monitor driver) for your particular monitor.
In PC video, images are encoded with a gamma of about 0.45 and decoded with a gamma of 2.2; in Mac systems, the corresponding typical values are 0.55 and 1.8.
