Designing on Mac - Translating to Windows I prefer dseigning my sites in a Mac environment. The ongoing issue is that the Windows evironment translates some things - especially colors - differently. It's color I'm most concerned with right now. Are there any known settings in OSX+ on the Mac that will emulate Windows' color structure, or do I need to park my PC next to my Mac & proof online? What's the most common & effective way to deal with this? Thanks. Cayce Started By Cayce on Aug 11, 2006 at 9:30:34 AM

ctoz on Aug 23, 2006 at 8:10:07 PM The best way is to embed a colour profile. sRGB should do the trick. See your image software for doing this. If you want what you're seeing to approximate what a windows viewer might be seeing, you need to set your screen to something similar... gamma 2.2 , or use the sRGB colour profile. Access these via... (er, writing on windows here... can't remember the exact name).. system preferences: the one that gives you thousands or millions of colours also gives a way of setting the gamma... I think u can do it thru the ColorSync utility as well.
