Setting up my screen on the new laptop and need to know if these look too bright or dark and if the colors look good

I would say a tad bit dark ... some of the details in the shadows appear to be lost ...

Not an easy question to answer because it depends what you where going for in photos, the mood, contrast, etc.

But on my CRT ...

The 1st : I too would like to see a bit more detail in the shadows.

2nd: It's perfect! The graduation from light to dark in the shadows works great.

On the first one try playing with the Shadows/Highlights in Image>Adjustments>Shadow/Highlight..., you can bring a bit more detail into the shadows but it can also washout the depth of the black on the hulls.

Hope you dont mind but I have done a mod on the tugs, I selected the shadows altered the curve, the inversed the selection, and did a brightness/contrast on the highlights. what do you think



I agree with Techo on the 2nd one tonal range from highlights to shadows good and I like the reflection in the glass.

I believe that my monitor is too bright which makes the photo too dark on your screen. I have tweaked it a bit so next time I post I hope it will be right. Thanks for the input, has really helped.
