My monitor is calibrated towards the darker side. I see no blotchiness. Just chalk it up to the fact that pretty much everyone is going to see it differently, due to the monitor calibration and settings. If it looks fine to you and you get prints that match what you see on the monitor then don't sweat it too much. It's frustrating yes.....but not much can be done about it. :~)

I am, therefore I create.......
