If you are going to post your photos on the web, you should adjust them so that they will appear satisfactorily on most computer screens. Including laptops. Laptops have overtaken desktops in sales volume and, in this wi-fi enabled world, most of us will be using laptops and/or iPads for most computer tasks. In a rare concession to the PC world Apple has adopted the PC gamma standard of 2.2. Tina's picture on my screen looked as if it was printed on #4 paper. It could be corrected but it required an additional step. On the other hand most pictures in the LUG gallery appear fine. Brian must be using some form of high tech magic to get them to reproduce so well. Larry Z
