Hi Johnny, I thought you'd have something to say about the Kiron. It's due to you that I bought it. Thanks

No Mac, I'm running XP on a 2.4ghz Pentium 4 with 1Gb of memory. My monitor is set with Adobe Gamma and seems pretty well set up for those sites that have a whole series of gray scale steps. I just tried the gray scale at DPReview <http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympusc5050z/> and found that I could clearly distinguish the brightest steps, but not the last couple of dark steps. That would seem to indicate that I should turn the brightness on my monitor UP, but, if images adjusted on my monitor are already too dark for others, that would only make that problem worse.

Since I'm working on setting up a site of photos, I do want them to work for others, so I guess I better look on some other computer/monitor combos. The ones I posted are right out of the commercial scan, without any brightness adjustment, but look good on my monitor. The big .BMP version of the dandelion is awesome full screen size on my 19" screen, very deep and mysterious but not as impressive seen as a small jpeg on the web.

Although I'm a pretty good programmer, I don't have any particular desire to learn HTML. I just want to put up a nice looking site of some of my pics. Looks like the Web Gallery function in PS 7 will do the job, but it's pretty clumsy. You can't save sets of settings, for example, and placement of some elements is odd. Anybody have a better solution to suggest?

Hi Moose,

Nice dragonfly.  You gotta love the bokeh of that 105mm Kiron!  :-)

BYW, I don't remember - you running a MAC? The pictures look a little dark on my Windows machine.
