Image dark on some monitors
http://fightingforalostcause.net/blog/
The left navigation background image (the St. Jude candle) looks fine on my laptop LCD, but on some CRTs it looks really dark, while on CRTs it just looks a bit darker but still viewable. Is there any way I can play around w/ the image in Photoshop to make it appear the same on all monitors?

I can see it, the candle in the glass, but you really need to increase the gamma a little bit, balance also the brightness and contrast, then it will look better in different CRT's.
If you dont know already, old CRT's tend to view sites darker (about 3 years old)... Thats why they got this gamma and vibrance control on video cards to set it all again to the desired view...

I have one of those 'older' CRT's
To me the image looks dark brown on bottom 3/4 and orangey on top, can just see the words (links).
Ifranview is a great little freeware program I recommend for adjusting images, just image/adjust colours and adjust the gamma correction. If you make it a fraction lighter for yourself than normal should be ok for us 'out of date' folks.
If you want test subject let me know, you can adjust the image until seen. But remember the golden rule, .jpg's shouldn't be saved over and other in programs liek PSP and PS (ifranview not to bad) as the compression becomes to much and images becomes real blurry

Just needs to be lightened up. For years I have battled with the "Wow looks great on my PC but yours looks like crap" know it too well. Except now finally people are using 17" monitors and at least 800x600 res where I remember designing sites to fit in a 640x480 screen. Thank god those days are gone hahaha

Hey guys I think I also have the same problem... But in my site, the links are little lighter than the background color... The same as the copyright picture... In my monitor it works good, while in some computers its not.
I upload it temporarily on a free site... Please help. Thanks!
