Why is the image too dark?

NASA - JPL Solar System Simulator
If the "extra brightness" box is unchecked, check it. Each monitor is different, and many have differrent distributions of brightness to the naked eye (this is called "gamma").

This image is really dark, I can barely see anything?

Performance Photography
I do tend to shoot dark and try to pick up rich, deeply saturated colors. If you like that style, let me know, and I'll dig deep into the darker images with you. I also occasionally shoot an image with the intent to print in black and white. Often, the background images for the proofs pages show this approach.

Why is the image I've placed in the scene too dark?

FAQ
In the real world the only way to increase the light is to put in a larger light bulb or move the light closer to the object. In most 3D packages we also have the option of adjusting the brightness slider of the material. The best way to lighten objects is to move your light, adjust the light intensity or adjust the brightness properties of the texture map.

Can I sail after dark?

How do we move in the dark room?

Dans le Noir?
Visitors aren't allowed to move by themselves in the dark room as it could put the waiters at risk (remember the waiters/guides are blind and need clear walkways to work around the tables).

What is the dark matter?

Frequently Asked Questions in Cosmology
When astronomers add up the masses and luminosities of the stars near the Sun, they find that there are about 3 solar masses for every 1 solar luminosity. When they measure the total mass of clusters of galaxies and compare that to the total luminosity of the clusters, they find about 300 solar masses for every solar luminosity. Evidently most of the mass in the Universe is dark.

Why does my image look dark on the monitor as it is being scanned for Preview?

This is normal operation of the film drive. During the preview scan, the scanned image data is shown on the monitor in its raw format. After the image is completely scanned, the image is redrawn on the monitor with corrections applied to make the image look as a print would. No, the film drive utilizes a LED light source that does not require any warm-up time, giving you high-quality scans without the typical lamp warm-up time associated with most film scanners.

The image prints too light, too dark, or in black & white. How can I change the print quality?

How dark will it get?

Jasmine' China Adventure Tours - Eclipse Tour FAQ
Typically, during a total eclipse, the sky assumes a look similar to mid-twilight, with the sky high overhead a deep grey-blue, and the horizon a much brighter orange-yellow. Sometimes the effect resembles a “360-degree sunset.” The brightest planets will be visible, and maybe if you are VERY lucky, one or two of the brightest stars. It will not be getting as dark as full nighttime.

Kombucha FAQ Part 1fa miscellaneous - Frequently Asked Quest...
No. It doesn't appear to make any difference. Kombucha can be fermented in full daylight, total darkness, or anywhere in-between.

Why 'Dark Reader'?

Dark Reader - FAQ
Very simple: switch on a UV box in a darkened room and the walls (not to mention your teeth!) glow purple. Switch on the Dark Reader and the room remains just that - dark. It is important to remember that is not the amount of light but the quality of light that is important when looking at fluorescent DNA bands in a gel. With a UV box you are looking at bright DNA bands against a blazing UV background (that is not doing you or your DNA any good!).

Why are one or of more the WebCam images dark?

Bonaire WebCams - FAQ
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.

How do I draw on an image?

Java 2D FAQ
If your image is an external image in a format such as JPG then first you load it into a BufferedImage using the javax.imageio.ImageIO class Then you can obtain a Graphics2D for rendering to the in-memory copy of the image. Here's a sample that does this: BufferedImage bi = null; try { bi = ImageIO.read(new File("images/bld.jpg")); } catch (IOException ioe) { } Graphics2D g2d = bi.createGraphics(); g2d.drawLine(10, 10, 20, 20); // draw a line on the image ... g2d.dispose();

What is an pre-image ?

Self-Organizing Systems FAQ for Usenet newsgroup comp.theory...
If a system is iterated (stepped in time) and moves from state x to state y, then state x is a pre-image of state y. In other words it is on the trajectory that leads into state y. A pre-image that itself has no pre-image is called a Garden of Eden state, and is the starting point for a trajectory. It is usual to exclude states on the attractor itself from the pre-image list, to avoid circularity, since these are all pre-images of each other.
