Wondering if the Mac gurus out there can help me? I have recently given 3
talks of the same material on 3 different projectors and all my images look
extremely dark. Photos are dull and important fundus detail is dark and hidden.
I have shown the same images many times before with no real problems. I know
projectors have varying profiles but most of the time things look fine. I am
using a MacBook Pro with the little "pigtail" connector and v10.6.4 software.
In one situation, a PC connected to a projector showed good quality, similar
to what was seen on the PC laptop, yet my MacBook Pro presented images poorly
on the same equipment.
So...I took my MacBook Pro to a Mac Genius bar. They connected it to a Mac
display and the images were fantastic. Then they connected it to a regular LCD
monitor, and the images were dull and void of detail, just as they appeared on
the projectors. I swapped out the "pigtail" with the same bad results. The
Geniuses told me that the way the images show on the LCD screen is normal
because it is VGA. Anyway, because I have been able to present nice looking
images many many times in the past, I rejected their explanation, but have no
real answers on how to fix whatever seems to have changed.
I have a ton of presentations coming up. Am really hoping an Optimal Genius
will have a suggestion or two that might help!!!
Many thanks!
Leslie
