IS THIS FORUM REALLY AN OXYMORON?

Posted By Robert Watters
Why not?
Film is how the image was captured. Scanning it for your computer monitor is just a means of displaying it, much like making a "print" is another way of displaying it. (the print isn't film either). smile

Looks good Ivan,
It also looks like Gradient X Terminator may have done more damage then good. On my monitor I can see some severe gradients and several halo reflections scattered about. If your monitor is set a little dark they may not show. My monitor is not calibrated (for color) but I try to keep it set according to the grayscale charts on various web sites.

Do you see what I'm seeing or do I need to re-do my monitor settings?
