sort of playing here, it is 9 picts done with that Cannon 30d set on 1600 & handheld on about 1/8 sec - gives a rather grunchy quality - which I like - may play more with this later... easy & cheap ...

Thanks :-) , yes it is in the dark. I prefer to be difficult, more impression than photograph :-)

I just recalibrated the monitor with apple os x built in calibration system, gamma 1.8, while it may have gone a tad bit darker, it is a lot of information there ... well I mean it is all in the dark but there is a lot there. Mainly pattern of braches, Try adjusting your brighteness settings, maybe... I could edit it but right now it looks good here ...

if it looks good there, pay no mind to my limitations

I do, maybe, detect a pattern here :-) although I do keep things pretty in the low tones... anyway you are not missing much strictly speaking. and thanks for comments!

I will later look a bit more into the monitor calibration thingy... how it moves across mac & pc too, there is this gamma difference going on ... anyway.

Ah yes, Mac. that is always kind of a problem. I started out with Mac, and eventually switched to PC because my customers often saw something different from what I saw on the work i gave them.

From photoshop help:

"The gamma value of a computer monitor affects how light or dark an image looks in a web browser. Because Windows systems use a gamma of 2.2, images look darker on Windows than on Mac OS systems, which are normally set to a gamma of 1.8"

While I am used to work towards print, working towards monitors is an entierly different headache... I am on it though ... bit more time ...

I really don't know what you can do. even if you are able to produce images that look good on PC, they probably won't look that good on Mac.

Color standards are one of the most complicated problems with computers...

In Photoshop 9, menu: View:Proof Setup:Windows RGB. Use that setting when doing color adjustments.

As 95 % or so of computers are windows boxen I better adapt to the standard and use that for submissions here. I still have the originals if I want to print it. Althoug there may be more macs around in deviantart than elswhere...

Have not really felt that images here looks wrong, using a mac, but then my pictures are moving on the edge of what is visible to the dark side so it doesn´t take much before it is a problem ... are slowly dealing with it ... there has to be some info on this around, how other people are dealing with it...
