Apple surprised us last week with an early release for the next major version of the Mac OS.

While this was generally a refinement of the previous operating system with few new features, there is one change that should make the production of digital content for multiple platforms a little easier. The default gamma has been changed from 1.8 to 2.2.

What does this mean?

Basically the Mac is now on a level playing field with the PC in terms of the way it handles colours.

This is actually pretty big news for Mac users who ever wondered why their Internet browser color looks light and washed out, or why their web photos look great in Photoshop and in Safari, but display bad color on the web and on Windows PC computers like XP and Vista. Likewise as digital content producers, colour shifting should become less of an issue as Mac users gradually upgrade.

About 9 years ago I had a thing for designing desktop images (wallpaper). I also had some odd rule about never using anything other than my own personal designs or photos. Odd as it might seem, this rule still stands as it reflects a belief in my own work and it’s also a great test of a design’s longevity.

Another rule I have (it’s actually more of a bad habit) is that I never throw anything away. My virtual mess is just as big as the physical mess that occupies the space under my desk and in my cupboard. So when I came across my old wallpapers this one particularly stood out for me. I’d always imagined it could exist as part of a website design. So I stripped out the car and tiled it on my Twitter page. It worked better than I had expected so I decided to use it here.

On the right is the original wallpaper featuring the General Lee and the fictitious airline of the same name. Enjoy.

And he has a slick new website:
