The gamma is different for both color & BW: * Windows: Color = sRGB, B&W = 2.2 * Mac: Color = AppleRGB, B&W = 1.8 What makes it worse is that the Windows Explorer ignores the embedded profile tags in JPEG/TIFFs, assuming everything is Windows standard (the Mac version of Explorer is ColorSync aware). So..... before I upload anything to the web, I usually change the profile to sRGB/2.2 and embed the tags. Darn it.
