Hi All..

When I submitted to the Words Challenge I believed I had my monitor calibrated. This is what I submitted!
As submitted!
Then I started getting all these comments saying "Where are the words"? So I decided to check my callibration again and discovered that the profile that was in use was the Apple one (Not exactly sure which one)!
So this is how I saw the photo when it was submitted.

Lightened!
It has lost some colour but as you can see the words are quite evident!

Point is if you have not already done it check your monitor calibration and Thankyou everyone who commented if it was not for you I would have no idea that my setup was wrong!

Cheers
Bob

Hi Bob,
As I stated during the challenge:

"Beautiful picture.
On my first go-around, I saw no words in it at all. I had to look at my monitor from an extreme angle to see them. I suspect many will never see them and hurt your score."


I suspected it would. Whenever I suspect that I may not be seeing something, I look at my monitor at an extreme angle, just to see if I am missing something. On a few occasions, I have saved the image to my desktop, then opened it in PS or Irfanview to adjust the Gamma / Brightness and see if something shows up.

At least you have it handled now, which will be essential for future challenges.
