Because of the gamma difference in Mac and PC monitors, Mac people (I am one of them) may see the photographs in this web site as a little on the light side. I have tried to split the difference and find a happy middle ground but it is not always possible. There is however something you can do that may help this. If you have a Mac, go to your control panels and open up the one called Monitors. It may also be called Monitors and Sound. You will see choices for Monitor gamma. Yours will probably be on "Mac Std gamma". Below it you may have several more choices. Look for the one that says "Uncorrected gamma." Selecting this one should make your screen a bit darker. Now when you view the images in the galleries, you should see them more correctly with deeper and more saturated colors.

Another method is to simple adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor. Changing the gamma is easier but if you prefer you can change the monitor's brightness and contrast settings. Study the gray scale below. Look carefully at the extremes at each end. You should be able to detect a slight difference between 0 and 5. If they appear the same, your monitor is too bright. Now look at the other end of the scale. You should be able to see a minute difference between 100 and the black background of the page if on a Mac. If 100 appears noticeably brighter than the black background, again your monitor is too bright.
