Precisely my experience Robert (though at my club, not yours!). The digital
projector colour characteristics are sickening, with violent purples and
garish greens. Maybe just what is needed for the display of Powerpoibnt
presentations of next year's business plan, but not much else.
I believe that digital projectors should be able to be profiled just as
printers and monitors are - but I am not clear that the software used to
generate the digital display (on the PC) is profile-aware.
Any thoughts, anybody

Subject: [OM] Re: When digital is no good...
Just to continue the discussion with an example from my camera club (
www.tgpa.ca <http://www.tgpa.ca>), we often show entries to our internal
photo competitions at meetings. Two years ago our competitions were 100%
film, but now we're about 30% film and 70% digital. So, we now we start off
by showing the film entries by projecting slides, and then switch to the
digital projector (a decent one from Canon, but I don't know the model) for
the digital entries. Let me tell you, there is simply no comparison. The
detail and color of the projected slides is far superior to that of the
digital projector. Also, with slides, the color is perfectly predictable.
With the digital entries, there just does not seem to be a way to get the
projector to reproduce each entry in the manner expected by each of the
participants. And even when the digital projector is working optimally, it
still doesn't compare to a projected slide. This is being done in a dark
room that seats about 80 people.
