If you choose to intentionally set your monitor to an inappropriate contrast, brightness, and gamma for viewing photographs, then your comments about what is or is not visible have little merit, and you'll not see the photos that many of us work very hard to present as they're meant to be seen. ========== Actually, I think my monitor is set right. It looks right to me and I run it through the Adobe Gamma setup thingee periodically. I am just assuming my contrast is darker or something than on some other monitors, because I found Paul's (?) squirrel shot too blue (fringed or whatever), and your three kids and a bike shot so dark in the background that I never could make out the third kid. And maybe my monitor is not as expensive as some other monitors on the list either. And maybe people have to make allowances that their photographs will not look exactly the same from monitor to monitor; from computer to computer. Just a fact of life. And also, maybe, I am convinced of this, we do not all see the same colors the same way.
So, bah, humbug, back at ya'. Doe aka Marnie
