The point was not to show a superbe piece of art to everyones amazement. It was to show that krita works for what it is intended. However, i have displayed it to the *Make Up Artist* i live with (she runs thunderbird on her ubuntustudio), and it didn't get best marks, but was approved. :D > > The bottom of http://ardour.org/ is nearly unreadable on my CRT and the > orange or what ever this colour of the text behind the ** should be on > http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html, is also nearly unreadable on the > CRT. hm... i can read it without any trouble... but i have no CRT. > > On my iPad using the dimmed brightness profile, the bottom of the Ardour > homepage already is good readable, but the orange text of the AV Linux > page depending to environment light still isn't a pleasure to read. > The face of your drawing becomes good visible on the iPad too. I have no CRT, so there is no way for me to verify. But then again i also lack the need to make it compatible with lowest common denominator: I draw for myself.

That is why we have pantone and proofprinting! :) Thanks for bringing it up.
