Now if I flip on GC, it looks washed out - lacking contrast. That's because there is too much light. The light isn't motivated by the type of scene I want, but rather by the fact that I had to add a lot to get it to look right. Now that it isn't unnaturally dark via GC, I should not be adding so much light.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
