Armed and Calibrated!
Just a little bit to show today, albeit a fairly important bit. The addition of the gun and holster marks the end of the main painting. I've stared and stared at it and I'm not sick of it yet which, by my standards, is a keeper.
The brightness level has also been lifted a touch across the entire picture. This is because of my new Spyder3pro calibration thingy. Wow, these things are good. I thought my macbook pro screen was set up pretty well, but after one pass from my new toy, the colours just pop and the black levels are awesome.
If colour is in any way important to you, even just for viewing photos on screen, then you MUST get one of these. It even samples ambient light and can adjust on the fly! Man, I love technology.
Only downside is, after spending all that time putting all those lovely dark tonal bits on the floor and walls, my post calibration display shows that I almost wasted my time, they would have printed BLACK! Hence the brightness adjustment. Of course, you probably saw all the detail anyway as your display is probably too bright
Well, that's what I've learned today, everybody's computer displays are too bright and too blue.
Or my display is too pink and dark. Time will tell!
