I am a beginner with Bryce and Poser, depending on the genre of picture I make the picture dark to enhance the mood of the picture. My LCD TV is set to flat and my video card is set to flat as well so I can see the color perpective in the picture as it really is. I find in my experience the I get the best render results with the monitor flat and using the premium render settings in bryce. I ask that people give me a chance as I am learning. I appreciate critical and non-critical comments about my pictures. I admire the work of those people who are very good at what they do artistically. It gives me inspiration to keep at it and keep learning. Thanks, datadraw1.
