Pixel Joint Forum: Contrast visual problem

Message

In last 3-4 days make this piece. I want to look dark, because plan to make 2 pieces like extension with dark and light ideas. The problem is that: when I work on the piece in the home all look at clear. Easy to see all details including dark colour near to the black, but in the work is a bit different. Not so easy to see last 1 or 2 colours /near to the black/. The work look at a bit spread. I think in home I have proper vision, but I can't make 2 laptops to have the same parameters. That is why will be glad to hear your opinions.

8 colours in the work

in work I see something like this

in home I see something like this

this is example what  similar I see in home and in work, but what is better ?

About work - just want Indiana Jones to go there :)

	Depending on where the light areas are and how strong they are, both are ok. Monitor differences are unavoidable. Macs show brighter images than PCs (generally) and the darker one is quite dark to me so on PCs the first may be too dark. When I ever have a doubt, I pick lighter to be safe.

	Ah, that's a common problem...everybody should make sure their monitor brightness isn't too far off...esp. when about to do some gfx. Whipped up a basic "calibration" tool. It's basically a 16 color grayshade image; displaying a comparison of the two darkest and the two brightest colors. If your settings are ok the difference between the circles and the background should be somewhat similar for both the dark and bright scene. If you can't even see either the dark or bright circle - you have a problem. http://goto.glocalnet.net/richard_fhager/bricalibrate.html

	Both look fine on my non-mac laptop. I'll have to remember to check them and Dawn's test on my home computer, as it also tends to skew colors. Looks great btw, personally I prefer the darker one, but not by a significant margin.
