I decided to take Ann's advice and try black and white.

Notes: Same technical data, but the rendition looked a little washed out on my laptop, and not exactly what I intended, so I darkened it a bit over all and kicked up the contrast just a bit. Then used the Fotomatic B&W Plus Photoshop filter with a Red Filter applied.

Looking at it on my semi-uncalibrated laptop, the shadows look all blocked up.

I know, I actually prepared the color image on an old IBM G96 monitor and this on my Laptop. Needless to say they render very differently on each system. I know the IBM is problematic.

I've got to re-calibrate both systems, (and swap the NEC for the IBM, I managed to bung up the NEC's vidio cable and just managed to replace it).

It would be nice if everyone's equipment rendered the same files the same way, but even calibrated this doesn't seem to be the case. I've taken to opening images that look either too dark washed out in irfanview to adjust the gamma so I can see what the poster might have intended...
