You may be wondering, "What's up with the photo?" I posted the top one this morning after running it through photoshop and tweaking the shadow/highlight (on my Powerbook). Ted sent an email with the second photo, suggesting that I ought to lighten up. It seemed fine to me and Ted's was kind of washed out.
And then I remembered screen calibration. Ted talked me into switching to a Windows friendly screen calibration a couple of months ago. It had somehow been switched back. With a "PC" calibration the original did look pretty dark and Ted's looked better.
The final photo I re-did using the new calibration along with shadow/highlight adjustment, color balance, and a little sharpening. I'd be curious to hear how these photos look on your monitor, along with the type of OS and monitor (lcd/crt/plasma/fision).
p.s. CLUT is an acronym for Color Look Up Table
p.p.s. read all about color calibration

Bottom is better.
I have both a Dell laptop and a Powerbook -- understand completely about looking good on one machine, not the other.
Oh, BTW -- nice pic
Hmm, are they developing any markup to describe the optimal gamma of a page? The browser could alter the rendering engine palette or something.
