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?


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

Ah, now I understand.

Up the Pirates!

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.

Greetings from Somerset.


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.

Maybe they're trying to stop stalkers?

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.

A guy walks into a bar. He's a rather large, menacing chap. He chugs back a beer and says, "All the guys on this side of the bars are cocksuckers! Anyone got a problem with that?" Everyone is understandably silent.
He then chugs back another beer and says, "All the guys on the other side of the bar are mother****ers! Anyone got a problem with that?" Everyone is silent, again.
Then one man gets up from his stool and starts to walk towards the man.
"You got a problem, buddy?"
"No, I'm just on the wrong side of the bar."

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.

I never use monitors at default setting.

In light of the Madrid bombing, France has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide."
The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate."

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

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.

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.


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

Your guidance is appreciated.

Regards,

®i©ardo

This one is an Acer, like yours only older and only 17". Default and
artificial light settings are only a click apart, not really worth the
hassle of crawling through the setup menu.

In 2005 eight Brits (All Scottish) cracked their skulls whilst throwing up into the toilet.

Do you ever have it blinking the startup logo and doing nothing else?
Mine does every few weeks, power cycling at the mains (I usually
switch it off at the front switch) sorts it.

Default and
artificial light settings are only a click apart, not really worth the
hassle of crawling through the setup menu.

Not sure what you mean.

I've set mine using the graphics card, as there is very little
adjustment on the monitor itself.

Or you could have put him in the mincer.

Nope. Sorry no info either. I'm on an antique Acer travelmate 240
laptop. 2.6GHz Celeron. Only paid £350 for it in a Comet Sale. Screen
on this is nice, but the graphics card could be better.

artificial light settings are only a click apart, not really worth the

Not sure what you mean.

Circular menu, takes about 6 clicks to reach brightness - 7 for
contrast-8 for colour saturation, then on to the end to confirm and lock
changes. Graphics card in the box is a 128 AGP4 could be better.

I've set mine using the graphics card, as there is very little
adjustment on the monitor itself.

Boy or girl?
