@booksbydavid: When I was online with my main computer with my CRT monitor, yes, I did calibrate my monitor, but it's not online anymore.  My laptop monitor is calibrated, so I'm just depending on what things look like from it.  The CRT monitor is turned up as far as it can be, but it just doesn't compare to the LCD monitors.  Running your promo renders through some color editing is a big no-no.  You are required to show what color your characters look like in mono lights and cannot post work, this way your customers know what they're getting.  If you render them in some different colors, or post work the image, your customers will get something different then what they're buying.  Not good.  I render them in mono lights to show what color the character really is, and never post work on the actual renders.

**I understand that for product renders, but I've seen many products that include 'artistic' renders as well. It was 'arisitic' renders I was referring to.
