mac & windows different colors?
« on: January 09, 2014, 01:49:58 PM »
I have very different colors on mac and windows. colors on mac appear darker and since i am developing on mac it looks good but when i try on windows colors are much brighter and with much more contrast and i don't like that! how to make them the same?

i first thought it was linear vs gamma so i changed to linear color space but it seems that difference in colors remains (it is somewhat changed)

How can i verify this? How i can know if my window monitor is properly calibrated etc... any info is highly appreciated!
thanks!

Can it be connected with fog? Fog is working different in Mac and Windows.

Could be a monitor calibration issue. Macs have a different gamma setting on their monitors than the typical Windows setting which could cause things to look different on a Mac than Windows. Recalibrate your monitor using a 2.2 Gamma via System Prefs > Display and see if that helps.
