PC because....it's what I bought...cheep
and Elements 2 because I'd rather put the money into the camera and the glass than the prossesing system.

All Macs have LCD displays now, except the eMac which comes with a 'flat' CRT. One additional advantage of Apple's Studio and Cinema displays, as a high end industry standard for publishing, graphic arts and the film industry, is the fact that these LCD displays can be viewed distortion-free from an extreme angle.

I prefer NOT to edit photos on my iMac for that very reason (it has an LCD). I use a G5 with a 24" CRT flatscreen Sony. The LCD is color accurate, but you have to careful when adjusting density and contrast. |

| Mac. This is why I keep my monitor's gamma at 2.0, right between the 1.8 Mac standard and 2.2 PC standard. |

Mac
fyi - in photoshop 7+ you can preview what your image would look like on a mac/pc
it's under view > proof colors, then select the colorspace you want to tview in view > proof setup
another fyi - by default the mac's gamma is set to 1.8 while the pc is set to 2.2. this can be changed if you calibrate your monitor with a calibrator. i use the pantone colorvision spider w/photocal. |

PC. Just recently found out about this when WhidbeyPix made a comment on my Still Life submission. He said "don't like that spot in the background". For the life of me, I never saw that spot. When I checked it on a Mac, sure enough the spot was there. If I had seen it I would've fixed it. Lesson to be learned.

PC.
I also see this huge spot plus on the top right I see a triangle forming a corner and a line going from the top toward the bottom. It looks almost like a brush tool mark.
I wonder how many people use a MAC that is not in the art/web/design industry?
