Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the computers section - belongs to both really.
I am now getting to grips with the new 20" iMac and most teething troubles are sorted. I still have reservations about the quality of the display but can confirm it is not a problem with my machine as I have seen other examples in the past couple of weeks which all appear to me to be a bit "naff".
I have today put the Canon software (DPP, Image Browser, EOS Utility, etc) onto the Mac and also copied over all my photos from my Sony Vaio laptop; as well as the original RAW files straight from the camera I have also copied the processed photos which have been saved as JPEGS or TIFFS. First time I opened DPP on the Mac I looked at a favourite photo of a Black-tailed Godwit which has been cropped, slightly sharpened and saved as a JPEG (attached). On my Vaio this photo looks absolutely superb with whichever viewer program it is opened, but in DPP on my iMac it is appalling. I transferred it into Image Browser on the Mac and, although the colour was not as good as on the Vaio, it was a nice sharp image.
Has anybody using a Mac experienced the same problem, or does anyone know what the problem might be? I know that DPP is much maligned but, for the moment, it is what I intend using to convert and process my RAW images.
