Some new backgrounds

I added a couple of new "backgrounds" to decorate your PC - if the desire takes you.

These are both 501X review photos - other cars to follow.

Oh wow your jut teasing me now jimmy i would love one of them tamiya's so bad.

A:(

Cool Image...

I tweaked the contrast and saturation, to my eyes this was a bit low but I now have a great desktop.

Cheers Jimmy!

Jimmy you are fantastic! Dont know why you dont do graphic design for a living;)

I'm a computer artist - we are famous for our lack of contrast! :D
It's probably more down to monitor calibration also since I have both my monitors set with max contrast and brightness

very nice, if only i had a 501x my life would be complete! :D

Dang Jimmy, who sprayed that shell?? Thats luuuuuuuuuuush

That would be me lol, I aint no painter and it takes me many hours to paint a shell to a decent standard

btw, I upped the saturation of the purple background on that one, not the entire image - just the background since this was the bit that was slightly 'dusty' looking. Looks a bit better now.


p.s. v0dka rulez

Hi Jimmy, that looks great now!

On my version the car looked over saturated, I think you got the balance just right.

What do you calibrate your monitors with?

Colin

My monitors at work or at least this primary one is calibrated with some fancy gubbins - my ones at home are just by eye lol. Since I paint a bit I do run all my monitors at max saturation and contrast just so I can see stuff.

IMHO calibration is the single most important thing you can do to ensure your images look the best whether they are Photographic or Artistic in nature.

I would be happy to lend you my X-Rite Probe and calibration software. Just PM me if interested.

:( I wish there was a ZX-5 . :p
