Pictures different on Monitor then TV?
Maybe this is a simple question for the more experienced, but I made a slideshow and it looked great on my computer, but when I played it on TV, the pictures looked very bright, like I over-corrected them.
How do you go about making corrections to pictures on your computer to make sure they look as good as possible on your TV? Do I need better hardware or do I need to calibrate my monitor better?
Thanks

Firstly make sure it’s not just the TV settings that’s making it look too bright.
If you use External Preview in Vegas, you can connect your firewire out to a DV camera then the analogue video out from camerera to a TV or VCR connected to a TV. This will allow you to see how it looks on TV whilst you’re putting it together.

Photos and video most always will be darker on your computrer monitor that on a TV. Yes, you over corrected. That’s why I always use a TV moonitor when working on video and and photos for slide shows.
I use the Canopus ADVC100 digital analog converter when I’m editing. Capturing I use a Sony GV-D1000 editing deck.
When producing the video for my company, I need two different versions. One for CD-ROM and one for VHS. The VHS usually I don’t correct. It looks too dark on my monitor but great on the TV. Then I lighten up the version for CD-ROM.

Whichever app you use to edit your stills should have gamma correction available. e.g. In Paint Shop Pro 9 it’s under Prefs>Monitor Gamma. With my Nvidia card I have it set to 1.27, but ymmv.
