Q: 24inch iMac scren appears to be transparent
I'm using a 24in iMac purchased in August 2008, and using it for photo editing...my monitor appears to be transparent..when i'm in on application, I can almost see an underlying layer of whatever other application is open, or in some cases even silhouttes of whatever image is currently being used as my desktop. My display is set at 1920 x 1200, and brightness is turned all the way up. i have it currently set to the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.
does anyone know how I can get rid of this. it gets really distracting when looking at images in full screen.

Hi-
Image Persistence is considered to be a user-created problem, and some people report of being unable to get AppleCare service for these problems.
Running screen savers is great for preventing the problem, however, if you ALREADY have image persistence problems, they may not clear up with screen savers alone.
Follow the white screen routine to clear the image persistence first, and then keep up a steady diet of using screen savers to prevent the problem from occurring again.
