Jean, assuming you're not going to go the route of pouring pixels into the slots on top of your monitor . . .

The fact is, I almost always have at least three versions of a tweaked digital file on my computer. The original, obviously, and then one to send via email -- small file but accurately viewable on monitor in that pixel size -- one to print on a glossy postcard, and another to print on a matte bi-fold card. There's a huge amount of work to be done to get all those to look the same "on the other end", even though I'm starting from the same digital image. Seems like computers should have taken care of all that variation, but I guess not. Thankfully. There's still some fun and frustration available.
