Special thanks Ted!Your monitor seems to be calibrated as mine - I wanted this wall black but discovered the bricks on another screen hence my "fears".
I was reading about Eugene Smith last night - he might have enjoyed digital and photoshop too ;-)

Philippe,On my monitor, the B&W version is out and out pure black. No detail. Picture is still amazing!In the colour version it has a somewhat "sepia" look.I'm sure you know the following. You should keep in mind that any monitor version no matter how expensive yours maybe and have worked very hard for the best colour or B&W renditions. All the other computer monitors in the world......."WILL NOT LIKELY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME AS ON YOUR MONITER!"Probably close, but I believe on list in the past we've had similar concerns by a poster about the colour rendition, his monitor to that of others on list. And the variations can be quite amazing machine to machine.My thought has always been quite simple. As long as the photograph looks smashing when you transmit it, there isn't anything to worry about what it looks like on the other 2000 monitors!I trust this helps.

The wall was meant to be black.Thanks in anticipation Philippe Miha Golobic wrote: Yes, please!Miha2008/12/1 Philippe AMARD <philippe.amard@xxxxxxxx <mailto:philippe.amard@xxxxxxxx>>Do you mean you'd like to see the original? thanks for viewing ph Miha Golobic wrote: Very nice!What about colour version?
