Achieving Accurate Color on the Web Across Platforms?




I'm using Photoshop Elements 2 on a Mac running Jaguar and I haven't seen anything in the literature or here which offers guidance about how to get "accurate" color across operating systems on the web. What looks good to me on my Mac, and seems like a true depiction of my work, may look garish on a PC because I understand that colors are stronger and brighter on PC monitors.

As an additional variable, with the first Photoshop Elements I found that if I set the color management for the web, the resulting image looked the same whether I opened it in Elements or in Netscape. If I set it for non-web use Netscape's version looked paler. However, with Elements 2, setting it for the web results in richer colors than when I open it in Safari or IE. I have no idea which results in a more faithful version for PCs, either: web or non-web.

How do you all handle this issue? And what settings do you use in terms of CMYK and all the other options?

And lastly, would you set these parameters differently if you were scanning for printing?
