Colors from Mac to Windows

[syd15]

Hi, one question...

I'm noticing that colors change from Mac to windows. I mean, I usually work on window, but now that I'm on a windows, I'm realizing that the colours on the banners I made aren't the same I used.  They are a lot whole duller. Is there a way to save the images on Photoshop CS3 s that the colours don't change THAT much?

I didn't find any. It is the same problem with screens. Some screens show graphics differently than others, increase a color more than another.

Well, then that suck because it always make my graphics look dull...

It's not a program issue - your monitors likely need calibrating.

But my screen is always the same I'm using a windows partition on my mac...

Okay, so there's nothing at all I kind do right?

But one more thing, my screen is always the same because when I use window is on the same computer than the mac... I mean, my pc is a mac but I need windows because mac don accept subtitle workshop so I had to install a windows on the same pc... Shouldn't the colors stay the same if the screen is the same?

It's the way that the colors are processed, and how many the operating system can handle. There's not really anything you can do about it. Just make them the way you want them and try not to look at them in another system or on another computer.

Someone mentioned calibrating your monitor and there are tons of tutorials out there if you google - I've tried about every single one of them and none of them works. After a year and a half, I've come to terms with the fact that my graphics look duller when I post them online. It absolutely, truly sucks.

Well, then I guess I just have to do the same and get used to it... But I can't help wondering how people see it, is it duller on every windows? Or just on mine?

Yeah, the problem is that I don't know how to do that, and even if I did, the screen is exactly the same (I run windows from my mac) so shouldn't it have the same kind of calibration?
