(April, 10th) Picture of the Week
Daniel Rocha wrote: Scott W wrote: It is hard to say on this one, the size you have posted does not match the content. This might look a lot better larger but at this size it is not much to look at. It's larger than previous weeks ! The sky is pretty bland and it is hard to find much interesting to the people who are only a handfull of pixels high and so dark as to be hard to make out fully. You found the picture dark too... Strange... I can't see it too dark ! http://www.monochromatique.com/photosemaine/ Maybe you are using a Mac computer with gamma=1.8? On my PC monitor (calibrated for sRGB), gamma 2.2, the figures are definitely too dark, almost silhouettes. Colin D. |

I loaded your image into Photoshop and took a look at the tonal values. The girl's hair is too dark, detail practically lost, but in levels, moving the gray slider to a value of 1.75 produces much better tones lifting her hair at it darkest from 15 to 43, and her left arm above the elbow fron 80 to 130-odd. Also lifting the man's hair from 40-odd to 90-odd. If you are seeing significant tonality in those areas at the levels this images has, perhaps your monitor may be at gamma=2.19, but your brightness may be set too high. Colin D. |

QuickGamma gives me a gamma of 2.19 I suspect that your monitor is simply set to a brightness level that is too high. These images appear rather dark on my carefully calibrated monitor as well...
