LOL! I said the same thing...on one monitor the background is plain black, and in my office monitor I see what Caleb is mentioning.....I guess we have to work for a "Photography Review brightness and contrast standard" in order to part from the same bases LOL.

I tried an experiment with several photos some time ago and discovered that those viewing this site are seeing very different images - even with 'calibrated' monitors.

It is not always brightness, though. For instance to see the background that they are talking about, I have to completely blow out his forehead and nose using the 'brightness' adjustment. The only way I can see it and keep the photo intact is to set my gamma at about 3.

Interesting OC...very interesting. Finding some how a standard to display and view everybodys images will make C&C more accurate. I mean I knew first hand that images will look different in each monitor, but not to the extent that you mention. It makes me doubt on half the comments I have done:aureola:
For example yesterday I commented on the "Water & Rocks" thread saying that for me the green was a bit hard...now I realize that the culprit could be my monitor.
