Hi,
I was working on posting photos to photobucket and flickr. Noticed that the pictures as I crop and fix them on the main pc seem oversaturated, so I was dialing the saturation and contrast back. Then I look on the mac laptop and the pictures are really dull. Need advice. Does this look right or dull to you guys?

I love how my new camera captures every line and detail, every scratch in the acrylic and white fuzzy lump on the blue tang :)

I’m no expert but if I could say anything about that very nice picture is maybe boost the gamma up a bit but that would be just nit picking if anything at all. Looks good, what kind of fish is that?
 
I'm on a PC, and it looks like good color to me. Hard to say when I can't see the actual fish. Oh, hold on. My gf is going to look at it on her mac side by side with my pc.

She says this is a problem everyone has with their macs, the dull screen thing.

RESULTS:
She is on a mac laptop. On the mac, the green on the zoa's/corals looks a duller olive green, on the PC it is a pretty bright green.

The fish: On the PC, red is a bit brighter, and the fish is a nice blue color. On the mac the fish is more of a blue green, and the green is duller (more olive). It looks like the main difference is in the green channel.
 
Good advise Most Have PC's I would edit on there
As for the pic its nice If you can sharpen just a bit
But the colors on my flat screen look good
 
Did not know that about the macs' screens being dull, thanks.
I guess I will leave the saturation as the camera sets it even though it seems exaggerated unless it's outrageously overdone. IE I have a plating montipora that comes out purple in pictures but in real life it's bright brown.
The fish is a male melanurus wrasse.
Thanks,
Kate
