Took a few photos of Melanie last night. Some were decent after a bit of magic. But the magic was worked with my desktop and my wonderful 19inch widescreen LCD. Uploaded the pictures to flickr, took a look on my laptop, while they were the same photos they didn't look it. I attempted to make things better on the desktop and re-uploaded them and again still looked wrong on the laptop. By wrong I mean they lack contrast and depth. So I tried to take a look on my CRT monitor again flat and bland...

While I'm sure the problem on the laptop is a lower contrast ratio and thus lower contrast and making images appear lamer than they really are in many cases. The CRT on the desktop is attached through a rather old crummy KVM that locks up and noticeably degrades image quality. I have a problem sending images out that I know look so poorly on my other screens cause I know many of the people viewing them have screen that more like my laptop screen or my CRT...

The root of my problem is the photos just weren't done right from go. I could most likely work more magic and get things looking better, which I still may do. I should have tried the flash, maybe in slow sync mode...
