It seems that the reason behind the different reproduction  of the same
picture on different monitors is a matter of gamma, the Mac is
calibrated with a gamma of 1.8 and PC with s gamma of 2.2. Consequence, 
you adjust  the image in a Mac screen, but when viewed on a PC screen it
looks darker.  From PC to Mac  is just the inverse. Solution: if you
work on a Mac switch to Gamma 2.2  and adjust tones to the vast majority
of computers installed PCs.
