Tobias and Charles, Thanks for the advice. Charles, I did find the "Expert" mode under the Diplay preference - and it did make some noticeable improvement. However, as per Tobias' suggestion, I downloaded SuperCal, and it seemed to do the trick. Much more contrast and saturation that I could obtain with the stock software from Apple. The big question: what happens when I hook up my digital projector? I'm hoping nothing happens - that pumping up the colors/contrast on my iBook will have no effect on the projector, otherwise the projected colors might look too saturated. But for sure, the images on my iBook look a lot better. Thanks! Dave -- http://www.davewyman.com http:www.idrivebackroads.com (Guidebook to Northern California) This mail is a natural product.
