All of the EIT images are actually produced by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light from the Sun. This is light that is between ultraviolet light and x-ray light in the electromagnetic spectrum and is not visible to our eyes directly. EIT images are taken at four different wavelengths and four colors in order of wavelength (bluer=shorter wavelength, redder=longer) were assigned to represent each of them.

Your video is probably set to either 16-colors or 256-colors. We designed our pictures with 16-bit or 24-bit color in mind (64 thousand or 16.7 million colors), so when your browser has to squeeze this down to 256-colors, effects called dithering and banding occur. This makes the pictures have dots all over them, or very noticeable bands of color, whereas it should be a smooth gradient of color.

Generic graphics or ICONS in the FLASH (moving bit) of the design cannot be changed, however the specific images can be changed. For example if the header or FLASH is a icon of a house, then this cannot be changed. If it is a picture of a style of house or mountains for example, then we would change this as this may not represent your market.

The description is more accurate. As mentioned, different monitors display differently, so we've tried to be as accurate as possible. However, rug colors are not absolute. They look different under different lights, against different furniture and floor colors, and different at different times of day or night. Hand-made rug colors vary when the rugs are made somewhat. Machine-made synthetic rugs tend to be the most consistent.

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

This website is optimized for computer monitors displaying at least 800 by 600 pixels at 24 bit color (16.7 million colors). On a Windows-based computer, you may change your display settings by going to the Start menu and choosing Control Panel --> Display --> Settings. Make sure that your display resolution is set to at least 800 x 600 pixels at 24 bit color. If the images still look dark, then please see below.

We are aware that some viewers, especially those using aol, may find the image to be distorted or blurry at times. This is an issue with aol that we have been unable to resolve. If you experience fuzzy or unclear images, please close the site, your browser or your connection and try again. If you are still having difficulty viewing the sample images, please contact customer service at 1-866-501-2229. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Your personal printer doesn't use exact colors that you see on the screen. You have to calibrate your printer with the screen first for the best match. Many colors that we see on our monitors cannot be reproduced at all by printers; this is because of the different technologies used to represent colors. Monitors can produce a wider range of colors than a printer can.

Lighting has a huge impact on the appearance of colors. Without getting too technical, here's a summary. Incandescent light, like most home lighting, is warm with a yellow or orange bias. Most fluorescent light leans toward blue. When you view colors in daylight, then artificial light, you see these biases affecting the colors. Here is an interesting Web page on these effects.

The Viking Lander imagers had three visible filters and three near-infrared filters. The visible filters were blue, green, and red multilayer interference filters which had very irregular spectral response, including a response to infrared light. Therefore, producing a "true" color image required the scene to be imaged in all six filters and an integrated spectral solution developed. The saturation levels at each wavelength also had to be estimated.

According to an anonymous source at one of the printing blanket manufacturers, it is mostly a marketing tool. If I try to sell you another blue blanket, it will be perceived as the same old blanket with a new name. If it’s a totally different color, then it’s easier to believe that it’s a different product. The color also might be used in a huge shop to designate some particular special requirement.

Yes. Macs use a Gamma of 1.8, while Windows machines use a Gamma of 2.2. It is recommended that Mac users change their Gamma to 2.2 when working on web projects to see how images will appear on a Windows machine. For more in-depth information on Gamma and color theory, see our Color Management section.

This occurs on a computer who's display (video) drivers are set for only 256 colors. The default graphics in PNR for Windows use more than 256 colors. When Windows is set for only 256 colors and you are using graphics which require more, Windows will try and swap around all the colors in an ineffectual attempt to simulate more than 256 colors. This is called Palette switching. This palette switching can slow down your system.

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.

We process using Fuji Crystal Archive paper, which is RA 4. We use Fuji Hunt chemicals for all our prints. For our small format, which are 10x15 and smaller, we use Fuji Frontiers. For our large format prints, which are 11x14 and larger, we use Pollielectronicas.

Satellite sensors collect data by pixels. A pixel of data represents the electromagnetic energy reflected from or radiated by a given area of ground. All these pixels are like individual boxes in a grid, and they are put together to make the complete image. In a single rotation of its scan mirror, MODIS captures an area on Earth about 2300 kilometers wide by 10 kilometers tall (imagine a long, thin rectangle). An image is put together by stitching one scan--one strip--on to the next.

All of the SECCHI/EUVI images are actually produced by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light from the Sun. This is light that is between ultraviolet light and x-ray light in the electromagnetic spectrum and is not visible to our eyes directly. EUVI images are taken at four different wavelengths and four colors in order of wavelength (bluer=shorter wavelength, redder=longer) were assigned to represent each of them.

Only henna leaves have dye, and the highest content is in the leaf petiole. There is no dye in the bark, twigs, or rootstock of Lawsonia inermis, and certainly not different colors such as black. The roots of henna are never harvested for dye, as henna is a small tree that is kept in production for many years. Though henna is grown in many different countries, the henna dye molecule is always the same red orange.
