It could be that your monitor's brightness or contrast needs altering. Check the calibration checker at the bottom of this page.

Once an image is uploaded to FASO it is not altered in any way. If you feel it appears too dark or too light, the only factors that can cause this are settings within your monitor, a change in the lighting conditions in the room your monitor is in or perhaps you are viewing your images on a different monitor. Every monitor will display colors and contrast differently and every computer is going to have a different graphics card and color settings. See similar questions...

Our website is optimized for all internet connection speeds and therefore images are compressed for rapid loading and previewing of our patrons. All images are sorted prior to uploading to the online galleries and we guarantee the quality of our prints. Your photos will be color corrected, cropped, and tweaked for optimum presentation. Your photo will have a small watermark in the lower portion of the photo and is faded into the print. It's typically covered by any framing. See similar questions...

If some of the WebCams are dark and others speckled or gray or featuring cool light effects (especially the North BeachCam and DowntownCam), then it's very likely that you're looking at Bonaire at night. Bonaire is on Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4) year round, and darkness runs from around 7-8pm until 5-6am. If it's daytime and the cameras are dark, then we might have a hardware problem and you should check the news column on the home page to see whether this is an on-going issue at the time.

Most definitely. The low-resolution sample images you see on your screen may look grainy or unclear focus because of a variety of factors (the quality of your monitor, your screen settings, etc.). Rest assured that any prints you order will be high resolution images that will also be corrected for optimal color and contrast. See similar questions...

Always start with a light or medium formula when you try a new brand. Light/medium/dark varies considerably from product to product. In general, the department store brand dark is heavier than the drugstore brand dark. And don't forget that two applications of a light or medium formula may give you better results than one application of dark. See similar questions...

These images were created usaing a gamma-corrected PC monitor and should appear correct on MacIntosh computers. Unfortunately, they may appear to be rather dark on some PC's. This is because the gamma setting for your monitor may be too dark. One way to correct this is to use Control Panel--> Display --> Settings --> Advanced to change the gamma value for your display adapter. You may also download images and modify their brightness with your own image processing software. See similar questions...

They can, but they won't. They see no reason to change. They are getting what they want. Discomforts are rationalized or "medicated" away. And there is no acknowledgement of accountability, personal responsibility and fault. Change is not an option with no sense of conscience and no remorse. See similar questions...

If you are using the Enhanced Preview workflow images will print at the same rate that your images would normally print at, however if you are using the IVUE or FlashPix workflow then the images should print faster because only the information that your printer needs is being sent. If your printer is not Postscript compatible then you should disable the "Print Separations" option in the PPXT preferences dialog box. See similar questions...

A great oversimplification in evaluating sapphires is the question often heard of "Which is more valuable, a dark sapphire or a light sapphire?" The real question is "Which is more valuable, a more intensely colored gem or a less intensely colored gem?" When phrased this way, the answer is obvious: the more intense the color in a gemstone, usually the more attractive the gem is to the largest number of potential buyers. an individual, you may prefer a pastel color, i.e. See similar questions...

The sample proofs on the web are low resolution images that have not been color corrected nor is it the same clarity as your final prints. Consider the sharpness and focus of the image when determining which photos to order. See similar questions...

Color variations will appear throughout the surface depending on the amount of burnishing and dry time between applications. Multiple layer techniques can produce several shades of the same color; different drying rates and burnished portions will help to create more depth in the appearance. Multiple layer or color techniques can be accomplished but do require much more time to complete all ideas should be practiced thoroughly from start to finish before moving to the final project.

The dark areas are image processing artifacts and not a sensor problem. The images on the WWW page are processed by removing a background light model. The background light model is about 99% of the light received by the CCD and consists of instrumental stray light as well as coronal light. The amount of background light varys according to SOHO's orbit. When the model is wrong we subtract off too much light and we see a dark area. Correcting the model always lags the actual data.

One set of satellite images is ingested in reverse. Remapping the image to the normal view detracts from the quality of the image. Why do the geographical lines jump around from image to image? Why is the iceberg south of -78 in the 16:38UTC image, at -78 in the 9:19UTC image, and south -78 again in the 09:49 image? Why does the navigation (map outline) look rock steady, while the surface features don't? I'm not a POES user. See similar questions...

No. Even though it will not harm your eyes to look directly into the box as you use it, it may tire them out—particularly if you use your light box first thing in the morning. And, since the reflector is designed to optimize the field of intensity, it is simply not necessary. Often, people find it more comfortable to distract themselves by doing something during their session, such as reading the morning newspaper. See similar questions...

a rule, multiple treatment sessions are necessary to obtain optimal results. This is due, in large part, to the fact that LHR is most effective on hair which is in the anagen hair growth phase. Hair grows in cycles and not all of the hairs are in anagen at any given time. The combination of light skin and dark hair is ideal for LHR. Yes, absolutely. We can customize your treatments according to your needs and expectations. See similar questions...

Shukla paksha is the time when the moon is increasing and Krishna paksha is when it's decreasing. So, at the decreasing times it's not auspicious. There's no "Why" for auspiciousness-it does not have. Why there is light coming out of gas-can you explain? Because it is light. But why? It is when the moon is increasing then there is auspiciousness-more. Because that represents the spirit! The more reflection of the spirit comes in; it's on the increasing side.
