Subject: Re: [DV-L] That age-old FCP gamma issue again

I think I'd like to see some pics. Did you actually review the output of
their projector? Is it a newer or older model? Sure sounds like operator
error.

I dunno though. I've been told a lot of my photo montages are shown on
projectors at weddings and things, but nobody's ever complained. The only
concession I did a couple years ago was to include a black matte around the
safe area because people on the lists kept telling me some projectors have a
larger overscan area.
