I was wondering if anyone had noticed, or if it's just my system, that
PMView for OS/2 displays images darker, or at least without as much detail as PMView for Windows, and other Windows graphics programs. It seems to be most notable on BnW images... but is there in color too... I notice it most frequently (or maybe it's just that the only time I view in both OS/2 and Windows is) when it's a picture that I've either scanned, or taken with my digital camera... I am using PMView/2 and CFM to scan in the image... and then when I go to "repair" it, I was using MGI Photosuite III, and noticed that it was much lighter in MGI, so I thought, maybe it's a problem with PMView in general, so I downloaded the shareware for the Windows version of PMView, and it showed it lighter than PMView/2 also... I can send a sample picture of what I mean to anyone that would like me to... so that you can see what I mean, but I don't want to send that to the list... It's over 3M... This seems to happen in multiple file formats too.. the one I'm looking at now is a TIFF, but it also does it in JPG (those are the only two formats I use, so I don't know if it does it to others also...) Opinions? Tips? Thanks, Jim H |

Jim,
Your OS/2 and Windows system are using different gamma curves. You need to calibrate them both in order to get identical colors. Unfortunately, no OS/2 drivers I know of allows for calibration, so the best thing is probably to calibrate your monitor to OS/2. Then, after, this, you calibrate Windows to your monitor.
