In regards to this, the mac os uses a different gamma than windows.  
It's quite painful to me as an artist when I work on the mac and my  
images on windows look much darker than I had anticipated.  I've  
found myself employing the use of a second monitor so that I can see  
my images on both LCD and CRT monitors as well as a backup windows  
laptop so that I can see how the gamma effects things.

Additionally, if you are developing your images on the mac, it is  
fairly easy to change the gamma of your screen to a "PC Compatible"  
gamma.
