[filmscanners] Re: Cleaning your monitor...

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

There is one part of Adobe Gamma, (and I don't recall which, as it has
been a while since I last reset it) where they suggest lowering light
levels or darkening the room, or whatever, to set the black and white
points, and perhaps for the gray scale adjustment, so those adjustments
were the ones I was referring to.
