a flattening of colour appears to happen when I set an image as a background on my windows system as well...

gggggrrrr

any help other than breaking my machine would be good..

Sounds like a profile issue. Many things can go wrong. Do you convert your files to sRGB before saving as jpg? And do you tag the resulting jpg file as having the sRGB profie? Do you have a calibrated/profiled monitor? Do you have a wide-gamut monitor? etc, etc.

Mark,

A remarkable find! I wonder whether taking this early morning or lat evening would allow more edges to show and therefore appear sharper?

Asher

Asher,

this one is very sharp its massivly downsized on the wee version. I feel I do need a bit more in it but its difficult to tell from the wee image above.

In relation ot the light - I used a couple of bowens (one softbox / one brolly @ 45dr to the camera)- I have tried to keep the light neutral - by balancing it so I dont get to many highlights (wax is a bit of a nightmare) I did some work with a heavier setup (lighting wise) and it didnt get push the work in the direction I wanted it to - I will post a same size image so you can check what I am talking about.

thanks for the thoughts - will check out haow it looks in the morning tomorrow.

cheers

Was this not one of your core drill sample pics? If so, the lighting is fully manageable in the studio as you have mentioned. So no need for the early morning or late evening light to play ball. ;)

Following is a technique suggested at another site that I've used with great results.
This assumes you are using Photoshop.

Select Image then Image size.
Set the resolution to 96 pixels/inch for use with on-screen displays.
Set the resample image to Bicubic sharper (best for reduction)
Set the size you want for the output.
Select OK

Next select the Edit menu and then Convert to Profile.
For the profile select sRGB
Set the engine to Adobe (ACE)
Set the intent to Perceptual
Be sure to select “Use Black Point compensation”
Select OK

Next select the Image menu then Mode, then 8 bits/channel

Next Select File, then Save As…

Select JPG as the output file type and save your file.

When you have finished with the original image, close the file but don’t save it, as the save will over-write your original file and incorporate all the settings noted above (Yeow)!
