Dark Email Photo's

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I'm pretty much a newbie to the world of digital photo's and I seem to have
a newbie problem.

When I download photo's from my Canon to the computer using ZoomBrowser they
come out bright and clear. But when I Email them using a 60% compression
they arrive quite dark. I'm not sure what people are using to view them but
I am sure that it's nothing unusual.

Any suggestions or countermeasures anyone could suggest would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Perry.

An excellent suggestion! Will do tomorrow.

One issue is that images often look darker on Windows machines than
they do on Macs, because Macs use corrected gamma. I set my Macs to a
compromise gamma.

That is very likely the case.
I have numerous monitors at my work, and one of the most common indicator of
a slow death is the loss of ability to show bright images...and
strangely--in other monitors...the inability to show darks. Sony monitors
seem to have a tendency to get too light. Others tend toward the oposite.
