Brightness and contrastMost photos on this website are high quality images and have a full scale tone. To show this full scale you have to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on your monitor, particularly for the dark areas. The grey scale above must show all the twenty-one shades from black to white in a distinguished way. To achieve this, adjust the brightness control on your monitor until the brightness of the black square on the left and the adjacent almost black square clearly differs a little in brightness from each other. With a well adjusted monitor this website shows a dark red grainy background. Colour temperatureMany monitors will let you adjust the colour temperature (measured in Kelvin). The settings are usually 9300, 6500 and 5500 or 5000 Kelvin. The default setting is usually 9300 Kelvin and is sometimes referred to as "computer display white". This setting will give you the brightest looking picture, but is slightly bluish in colour. A whiter white is produced when you set your monitor to 6500 Kelvin, sometimes referred to as "daylight white". People in the video world normally use this setting and it is the preferred setting when displaying photos on your monitor. If you did not already, give yourself some time to get used to it. After a while you will like it.Gamma and colour spaceThe majority of the consumer monitors only display images created in the sRGB colour space. sRGB is a commonly-used colour space which is the de facto standard for web use. The photos published on this website are created for a gamma of 2.2 and are uncompensated, meaning that they have no imbedded colour space profile. They automatically display properly in all web browsers using a gamma of 2.2 and in the sRGB colour space.Screen resolution and colour depthThis website is best viewed in a resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels or more and with a minimum of 16.7 million (True Colour/24 bit) colours. For easy viewing in the Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome internet browser you can choose the "View > Full Screen" option or press the "F11" key.Image file formatMost of the photos are published in the JPEG image file format with little compression. Others are published in the PNG file format when they require a transparent background or when they represent a small banner or button. A few are published in the GIF image file format. The colours of the wallpaper wallpaper BMP image file format are limited to 256 in order to keep the file sizes acceptable while error diffusion dithering is applied to simulate more colours.FontsThe fonts used on this website are Comic Sans MS and Arial (or Helvetica or Verdana). The browser uses these fonts from your computer if they are found. Otherwise it uses your browser's default font from the same generic font families Cursive and Sans-serif.
