It's a painting done on a cracked wall. You might need to turn your monitor brightness up a hair

It's a painting done on a cracked wall. You might need to turn your monitor brightness up a hair
exactly. so it has NOTHING to do with REALLY configuring my screen.
yes, i'm on a CRT... and the monitor -IS- configured for optimal performace
and color... i dont find it necessary to jack up the brightness another 200%
just so i can see someone else's blacker-then-goth picture... there's a
thing in PSP/PS that you can adjust your brightness for your own pictures.

hey i wasnt trying to be a prick dude.. i was merely stating the obvious.
and that was simply both pictures look black. i too, wish to enjoy the
pictures posted in this thread.. so i dont see how thats fair since i have
a CRT and not a LCD monitor... i'm sure there's many others that view
this thread that are without a LCD.

The abyss that is colour-spaces, gamuts, conversions, profiles and all other Photoshop mojo, i tend to take some things for granted. Which means i forget what its like to sit on a non-profiled monitor. At least youve seen the light now, literally.sorry i complained about this earlier, but i had no
idea my black point calibration was off, as many of yours could be...

The blue fringing you see in your pics is a result of the light energy on from the bright areas hitting the sensor and bleeding into the surrounding areas. It's called "blooming" and happens to consumer level cameras, particularly those with small sensors and high pixel counts (which is most of them these days). You can edit it out in photoshop easily enough.
That last pic is cool. Is it all indoors?
EDIT:
...and while I'm at it, the pic of the leaves is overexposed. Try using a faster shutter speed and smaller aperture. That'll help keep blooming down, as well as make for a nicer exposure.

is there really such a thing as fukk 32x zoom, or did you just want
to use that cool word without the 'c' in it? o_Olex-ington wrote:B.C.E Place downtown Toronto: http://www.fcibroadband.com/~surveypoint/nooook2%20015.jpg

how did you take that picture? i have a minolta dimage x1... (8mp),
can my camera take a similar picture?

Macro mode is for shooting things close up. Telephoto is zooming in. Wide angle is zooming out. In all three cases you can change ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.
