Peter did post a .jpg. You're not missing anything, really. It's
underexposed as usual.
Interesting, most people tell me they are OVER exposed. It depends
on your monitor settings.

My monitor is just fine. Monitor, scanner and printer are calibrated
with a £10 note

Ten bob note, more like!

;-)


You probably still use bobs and tanners and collect the Co-op divi up
there. Do they still deliver your milk on a horse drawn float?.

Up the Clarets sunshine.

Co-op divi - now you're talking!

Where's "up there", by the way?

I though the exposure looked pretty good. I decreased the brightness
and upped the contrast a bit:

To me your version makes them look maroon instead of red.

It looks better - not perfect, but better on my monitors, even at the
factory default setting.

Up North. Lancs Yarkshire border way, not far from where I were born

I preferred the first one. Came out just fine on my monitor.

You're right - the red does look darker.

Bristol Rovers? YUK I'm a rugby fan. Mind you, I watched the Exeter
Chiefs at Twickers today. Great match, better than the Tigers/Ospreys.

Blueyonder/Virgin should get their act together and let their servers
talk when they're queried. Kept giving me an address in Bradford
instead of Clevedon.

What I'd like to know is where's the point in scanning a ten bob note
(if you can lay hands on one) when it only has two main colours?
They're twenty quid onEbay, and there was one early this morning selling
for over £200. Everybody has a tenner ('cept me. I seem to only have
twenties left atm) and it's pretty near perfect for comparative
calibration.

I didn't realize Clevedon had got cable too! The problem probably lies
with the Blueyonder/Virgin merger, where the former is specifically cable.

I was only kidding about a ten bob note. And, yes, I was aware of their
current value. I must see if I can get hold of a tenner - again, only
twenties left - to do a bit of calibration myself. Thanks for the tip.

Blueyonder were ok in the past. Telewest and NTL are the real problem.
For some reason, many of their local servers are registered as being at
locations miles from their true geographical location - probably regional
offices, or possibly due to equipment being moved to a new area following
an upgrade elsewhere. I met that a lot when I worked at Freeserve whilst
it was under the DRG Group, and I had a whale of a time during a
University holiday when I travelled the country upgrading the geolocator
data.

Five, ten or twenty works just fine, but when comparing screen and paper
images, remember that the screen is transmissive and paper is reflective,
so you'll need to light the banknote alonside the screen for an accurate
comparison. I used a small halogen reading lamp with a layer of kleenex
over the front as a diffuser (it can get very hot, so be careful). If
you need to be very accurate, and with 'summer' closing in, I suggest
making two settings - especially with TFT screens. One for daylight, and
one for night time artificial light.

Take care, 73 and good luck in the contest
