It's something that's an ongoing concern. Now that Snow Leopard has changed the default gamma to match Windows I'm wondering what the images will look like. and/OAR, thanks for the feedback.

I had assumed that the images were taken around the Black Sea, that they weren't is unsettling. GD – despite living in east London I’ve never made it to Southend – looks like I should.

While it's standard printing industry dogma that the monitor should never be used for color accuracy, I have always found that you can get pretty close if you calibrate your monitor according to a particular output device, or professionally printed sources (such as high quality CD packaging) under normal daylight conditions. After a while, the monitor might need to be re-adjusted from time to time, so it's good to periodically check it. Ironically, it's my old iMac that I haven't been able to calibrate the colors properly, due in large part to very limited color controls built into the system. I say "ironically" since the dogmatic use of Macs in the printing/graphic design industry is well known.
