maybe you need to calibrate your monitor ctbram
Hammer: That is EXACTLY my point! I do calibrate ALL my monitors! People blast their brightness settings way above normal black is the problem. I use a $600 Spyder puck and calibration software and calibrate to standard. Blowing out my gamma to see stuff against a black background is not "calibration" it's de-calibration lol.
The first image posted is basically pure black with a barely discernible outline of something and the last image is completely backlit and nothing more then a silloutte.
Look at the levels histogram for the first image. The thing is basically pure black with all the information packed in the range of 0 to .5 on a scale of 0 to 255. My contention is anyone that can see the details in this image has their monitor de-calibrated!
