images are the life of the site

[vze]

I am having a real problem with “images” (jpegs, PNG, Gif ) on my sites when it comes to consistency of brightness/contrast when the site is viewed on a MAC versus a PC.
The site is developed on a PC (and always looks fine on all PC’s) when viewed on a Mac all the images are off, lacking contrast and brightness.
My question is this; is there a way to create images that will have a consistent look, or do you create another version for the Mac?
Help please; the images are the life of the site.
Thanks

When viewed on all Macs or just one?

All computers are different (regardless of platform) and all monitor calibrations are also different. Unfortunately your images will never appear identical (or consistent) on every computer no matter what you do to them.

All Mac’s.

I understand that all systems displays are different. But there is a dramatic image display difference from the PC to the Mac.
Although there are slight shifts on all displays. The difference on a Mac is presciently different and with consistent different qualities. On the Mac the images always lack contrast and are washed out.

I have never experienced this problem and I have been using Macs for over 10 years. Do you have a link available that I could compare Mac/PC?

take a look. As said, these look find on a PC but on a mAc they change.

I have tested jpegs and GIF, all fomats react the same. I made PNG becase according to the W3 this format should solve problem.
Thanks, I'll be very interested to see what you see on PC and MAC.

Will check it out when I get home. (no Mac here at work)

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

I checked these out. What I am seeing is that the images are very low contrast on both platforms. I think the Mac is just showing you how bad it really is. IMHO: I would modify the images so they look good on the Mac and you will be good on both platforms.

Just to give you a point of reference I have modified one your images in photoshop. You can get the modified image here: Image Try that one out in both platforms and see how it does.

Hope it helps.
