The center core wide open seems very sharp indeed. As to the tweaking, the image has a not unpleasant pastel look to it. All the colors are soft and there is no snap to the image. I am assuming that this is because you have no visual reference for adjusting the image.

While it is nice to not be slowly turned into a mutant potato, it is useless for image work. The contrast is too high and the resolution is not as good as my old Apple Studio Display. Say what you will about Apples prices, they sure make a nice product. So I am going to see f I can get the old monitor repaired and then hook it up just for image work. All that to explain why I have only had time to post one more image (one that had been partially tweaked already). I think it is OK but I can't tell for sure with this monitor. More wide open middle distance work: http://gallery.leica-users.org/jbcollier/James_maze The first photo was not sharpened at all but I sharpened this one slightly. I do not remember feeling it needed this with the old monitor but I can't be sure. John Collier _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
