Subject: [IML] IFW:CHAT: Gamma(?)
Hello folks again,
I've had some comments from friends who looked at my four dungeon jpgs
on my home page and said the images were way to dark to see any detail.
I don't understand, the images look great (IMHO) on my PC but yes on
other's PCs the images are consistently dark. I used the gamma settings
which I thought takes care of that sort of problem.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me (I think that was a pun :-) ).
Confused,

This is somwhat of a calibration problem with your monitor i think.
When you browse the web, how does other images and your own look to you,
if you compare them?
The best way to solve it, is if you have access to some other PCs (where
your pics look dark), then take a picture from that computer (yor friends
for example) which looks good in Netscape, IE... whatever, then you
copy it on a disk, go home to your computer, load it in Netscae, IE... whatever,
and it would probably look very bright on your monitor. Now adjust your monitor
until the picture looks precisly as it did on your friends computer.
Don't view the picture in Photoshop or any other such program since it is posible
they do gamma-correction when displaying, use a web browser.
Where i work (on a newspaper) we have all monitors used with photagrophy calibrated
after the paper we print on (slightly yellow and very low contrast), these monitors
are not fun to use for reading or writning or browse the web, but they give a fairly
WYSIWYG for the pictures that get printed in the paper.

Hello Mats,
Images from the web look ok on the same monitor, a NEC 4FG. I'll redo
the images with gamma turn off.
Thanks,
Chris.
