Yes, thank you! Yet, I am still in the dark about how it reads in regards to brightness/contrast/saturation/gamma.
Allow me to restate: I used to have two crt 21" monitors, each had a variation on how images displayed on them, inspite of endless calibration attempts and tweaks to try to get them to match. ONe montior, washed out and over-bright. The other, what I'd call "correct".
Anyway, MANY images I made on that system that are in my gallery now look waaaaaaay too dark and in some cases, the contrast is totally blown out. At the time I made them, though, I thought they were "correct:"
Nowadays, I think my new images look "Correct" but why should I trust my opinion? Afterall, I'm the same guy who thought the old stuff was "Correct" when I posted them.
So, now that I'm on twin LCDs can I be sure that what I'm seeing is at least 90% approximation of what you're seeing?
Because If my newer stuff, which I think is great is in reality blown out, too bright, too dark or whatever then I need to fix THAT before I do anything else, you know?
Now, you'd think someone would tell me if that was the case, but they didn't back then so why would they now?
So I'm saying I'm specifically requesting commentary in regards to Brightness, contrast, gamma, exposure...things of that nature.
I'm not looking for the usual...this is specific.
