RE: filmscanners: [OFF] problem with image brightness

["Cooke, Julie" <CookeJ@logica.com>]

Thanks, the photos were scanned into Adobe RGB working space using Nikon
Coolscan III, under Windows. The images were manipulated in Photoshop, so
I've used the Photoshop gamma tool and the web site was tested mainly using
Internet Explorer 5.0. If I convert to sRGB, I will lose something from the
images and increase the file size. 

Two people have reported that the images are slightly too dark, a
calibration page seems the best idea? 

Cheers,

Julie

Hi,

your pictures are BEAUTIFUL!

I don't think there is a need for sRGB, but I don't think it adds much to
the file size too. So if you want to be absolutely sure 
that for people who are fussy about color and such you have a maximized
chance they see what you want them to see, then 
embed sRGB. Perhaps you should also add a calibration page or section to
your website where you let people adjust their 
monitor contrast and brightness to see the fullest amount of shadow detail

Now I have the strongest urge to go on travel vacations again,
(unfortunately for you I do not want to buy images, I want to shoot them
myself, but you have inspired me (and my wife if I 
show her you pictures). Your 'less is really more')
