Color of penis

Hmm, have any other than I found that the color on a mac is not always the same as on some PC's? It seems like some penis's are colored very different - so what looks very OK on my screen looks very pale on a PC, and what is OK on a PC is very dark on my Mac.

Any other have experienced this?

Uh, dude... might do better asking the question about skin tones in general, without the P-word. But to answer your question, I have seen several bits that get stuck on the body (there's some bazooms, and some feet in strappy sandals too, all with configurable colours) which match very poorly to the colouring of the textures they lie alongside. Though I doubt it's a mac thing - the age, setup and ability of your monitor are more likely to be the cause. Whether it's on your schlong, or elsewhere...

P-Word??

Penis should be perfectly acceptable being that it's a term a doctor would use.

Incidentally be careful about putting your penis on your mac in the first place especially if it's a laptop, they can get awfully hot

It could be the difference between using Windlight shaders (atmospheric and basic shaders) and not.

Easy solution: remove your penis. Case closed. Next!

Traditionally Mac has used a gamma setting that is VERY different from Windows. Meaning content created on a mac or on windows would look either too dark or too washed out on the other. (mainly in the mid tones, i.e. skin tones)

This issue isn't so bad these days now that both windows and mac are completely color calibrated and you embed the ICC profile in the image BUT, when the images are uploaded to SL, it doesn't care about the and they pretty much get displayed uncorrected with all the other textures (then the entire window is corrected to a normal profile on final output to screen, but not the profile you created the content to of course).

So it may be that the issue shows it's head in SL worse than say on a webpage or a photosite would.

But that would apply equally to the prim and skin parts of the avatar... since Windlight, anyway. Not just the penis: the whole avatar would be looking "pale". The thing I suspect is going on is that if you turn off the basic shaders (or can't turn them on because you have an old GPU) you get the pre-windlight prim rendering, and that's always had problems matching the avatar skin.

they brightened up avatars in 1.22 ... 1.21 and older has darker AVs so prims were shaded darker to match. Old things look too dark now. Some video cards have bugs and don't see shading right, which throws off things too.

I've seen 2 Windows PCs have different shades of attachments, so I doubt its solely a Mac thing.
