Screen:

Your monitor should be set to True Color/32bit (if you have it) and no less than 800 x 600 pixels. It's fine if your pixel dimensions are higher than this; the images will appear finer but smaller. To set your resolution, click the APPLE in the upper left corner of your screen, go to CONTROL PANEL>MONITORS AND SOUND>MONITOR or RESOLUTION, and select the resolution and color depth (choose maximum bits or colors). You may have to reload the page or even restart your browser after adjusting the screen resolution to 800 x 600.

Browser:

Expand your browser to fill the entire screen. If necessary, expand your vertical window space by collapsing one or more of the toolbars across the top of the browser by clicking on the tiny dotted strips on the far left. I suggest collapsing all but the Navigation Bar, the one with the BACK button on it. This should allow you to see most pages in their entirety without a vertical scroll bar on the right.

Brightness, Contrast, and Color:

Unless you make some adjustments, the color on this site will look washed out on the MAC, and you will almost certainly have to turn down the brightness. In general, turn the contrast to the maximum and then adjust the brightness. Sometimes computers in public places, and other computers used almost exclusively for text editing, have the brightness and/or contrast turned down considerably to ease strain on users' eyes. If this is the case, the images may look dark or pale and washed out, and if you have no control over the monitor, you may wish to revisit the site on another computer.

If the color chart below looks off-color, adjust your monitor.  In general, to adjust your monitor, go to CONTROL PANEL>MONITORS AND SOUND>COLOR>CALIBRATE, and follow the instructions (be sure the white point is set at 9300 or none). Or, go to CONTROL PANEL>MONITORS AND SOUND>MONITOR, and choose "MAC standard gamma" or "Uncorrected gamma." Or, you may may adjust your color using some software like Adobe Gamma in your CONTROL PANEL.

In any case, if you want to see the art on this site in accurate color, set your colors so the chart below looks accurate (even if it deviates from what you get following the instructions exactly). Also, the neutral gray behind this text should not appear greenish, reddish, bluish, or yellowish. Some monitors have their own preset color adjustment buttons; if yours does, select one where this page looks neutral, not warm. If you have a major color shift, it is often because your monitor color temperature or "white point" is set incorrectly; it is a simple problem, but you will have to search around for your monitor settings to fix it.
