I am preparing digital images to be viewed by projection by jurors in an art competition.
My images look perfect on a Mac monitor, but too dark and garish on an NEC brand monitor.
Should I err on the bright side or dark side, more saturated or less, etc? Any advice would save my life.
Yeah, it a perfect world, all monitors would be perfectly calibrated and capable of the same level of quality graphic display as another, but that is hardly the case, and never will be. So I don’t see calibrating all monitors as an answer. Another matter, you say they will be projected. That throws yet another HUGE stumbling block into the mix. Even with a calibrated monitor, when going through a projector, the colors, contrast, brightness all goes to trash. The quality of the projector is of major importance, and even then, it also needs to be calibrated, …. again, not likely in the real world.
I have to ask, how do you KNOW how your photos look on the NEC monitor? Do you have access to them on that particular monitor? How do you know they are not correct on the NEC and incorrect on your Mac? Is your Mac calibrated? If you can see how they are going to look to the judges, then the obvious answer is to adjust the images to look right to THEM. Be sure and save your original files of course. Who cares what they look like on your end, what matters at this stage is for them to look good to the judges. Can you use some online software on the NEC to adjust your photos at that point?
It seems obvious to me. If they are "too dark" on the NEC, then raise the brightness on your end. If they are too "garish" on the NEC, then lower the saturation on your end.
As another thought, maybe the NEC just needs some very basic adjustments to bring up the brightness and lower color saturation. I find it hard to believe that a panel of jurors in any kind of selection process would be using such a terrible monitor, meaning that particular monitor. NEC is typically a very good display and in fact makes one of the best monitors sold today for photographic work.
But again, if they are then going to projection, it can all go haywire anyway. I think the projection aspect is much more troublesome than any of the monitors along the way.

I’m having 3 girls sleepover tomorrow and my friend and i wants to pull a prank on someone.
What are some good funny ones?
I don’t want them to be TOO messy.
You could (and this might sound boring) do a blind make over. The person recieving the make over has to have their eyes closed – pretend you will make her look really nice, and then give her an orange face with blue eyeshaddow, etc!
Also, you could hide something unexpected in, say, a cupboard (everyone except the prankee knows it is there) and then your prankee opens the cupboard! ha ha ha.
Ok – so they aren’t that good, but branch off and create your own original pranks!
I’ve sung a few times for concerts at school and I’ve become the "funny girl," a reputation I like. I have a pretty big range, so alto to soprano is fine for me. I have sung "The Alto’s Lament," and "Taylor, the Latte Boy." Are there any suggestions for other songs like these that I can sing?
Winner Takes it All, by Abba. Not funny.
My teacher’s surname is Gallacher and me and my friend are trying to think of funny nicknames for him, playing on the word Gallacher. Any ideas?
Horse – (galloper?)
Looking for a embarrassing funny status to put on my friends facebook. He got me way good today and i need to get him back?!!!
two sausages were grilling in the park and making juicy sauce inside their tongue-tasty meat mouths where no other person dares to touch. only its meaty longevity can give away its stunning and erect appearance.
theres this girl who is constantly complaining about her bloody noses and dihereeah over her statuses and i am sick of it. i know alot of other people are too. i want to be funny and light about it not rude, because its gross. this will be a status that i am posting.
Post your own. It’ll be a way of giving her a dose of her own medicine.
What i mean is that is there a website or even program where you can make simple cartoon style images. And it should include something like "clip art" from microsoft where you can choose preset image/shapes and edit and mix them up to make an image. I need this because i am making a game in Flash and i dont like making images in flash.

It is a high school male pageant and it is meant to be funny. Like last year a guy made a milkshake while the song milkshake by kelis played. Another guy did ribbon dancing. I want it to be very funny, it can be anything like a song, dance, or whatever. It needs to be school appropriate and try to keep it under 5 minutes. Thanks!
