anyone else come across this issue?...

i get a photo looking the way i want it on my desktop with calibrated LCD. when i look at the same image on my iPad 3, it is much darker.

so, should i go with the best brightness/contrast/saturation for the desktop LCD? what is the assumption about what type of monitor people are using during voting?

I assume it's different from mine. Really, there's no standardization possible (other than the gray-scale below the entries), and people around the world have all kinds of viewing devices, most of them otherwise uncalibrated.

I still use a Sony CRT monitor for my editing, and typically get prints which look like my edited images -- that's really all that's important.

If anything, it seems like most of the complaints are that people have their monitors set too dark, so that shadow detail intended to be seen is lost to many voters ... I guess that means if you have a dark image it's better to make to a little lighter than you would otherwise.

Try this.

i guess my iPad brightness was set dead center. if i tweak it up 10-15% then the dark detail looks better.

remind me again about what the white to black scale on DPC image pages SHOULD look like...

There should be distinguishable square blocks from white to black ... if you see rectangles (squares merging) at either end it's off ...

im getting comments on my freestudy thats its too dark, on my 4 week old iMac it looks fine and i can see all the blocks and its calibrated with sypder 3, although most voters wont be its just the rub of the green
