By completing these simple steps, you will be able to see much greater detail and colour in the gallery images. These are simple adjustments to make, with no risk of harming your computer in the process, and you can easily change the settings back if you prefer.

1. The contrast and brightness of your monitor needs to be properly set - you should be able to easily, and distinctly, distinguish all eleven of the boxes in the chart below. If you can not (especially the darkest levels), please follow the 'calibrate monitor' link, and follow the few simple instructions. Generally, on older monitors, both the brightness and contrast settings should be set to near maximum.
