>>> Challenge 68: Xtreme : Part 2 <<<

my monitor started freaking out - flashing colors and looking "muddy" even when it wasn't flashing. I had to buy a new system to do my super-size images anyway. Then I had both monitors calibrated with a borrowed spyder system.

Even thought they were both calibrated the same day in the same room with the same equipment, the old monitor looks absolutely terrible compared to the new. I'm still not convinced either is 'correct'. The new one seems a little bright and over saturated after calibration. The old one very muddy and dim. I can still see separations on the gray scale in the first 2 and the last 2 shades - but just barely, whereas on the new monitor there are very clear separations. I've also seen things on the new monitor like significant sensor dust on some of my posted images, not visible on the old monitor. My point in all of this - my issues with your style sheet may have been as much my monitor slipping as anything.

It really bothers me that we are all looking at somthing different when we view things on the web, and how can one be sure if your own monitor is anywhere close to 'correct' when calibration results in two very different displays.

Dear Fellow Challenge Participants

This is obviously a first-time around for me when it comes to ensuring that all the "right things" happen during and after the voting process. If you spot anything being over-looked, done incorrectly, or whatever, you are warmly invited to do whatever is required to help fix the problem... please!

Thanks in advance.

. . . here are two photos. The first is my entry in the Xtreme Challenge, and the second is Kelly jumping down from that same window sill this afternoon (with her prize: a captured green fuzzy mouse). OK, I confess: I played around a bit on the color of the curtains, but some contrast was needed to set off the patterns in her tail.

Whew. Why do I always put things off?

Oh well, I'm gonna eat now!
