Happy Birthday, Lori! :)

happy bday

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. We had an electrical storm on my birthday.. our cable modem got fried. Just got back online today. Other than that, it was a great birthday.

And I missed it :(
Happy late, late birthday, Lee. Glad to hear it was great!

Thanks for the link Mazi. I've wondered about that myself because images seem to vary so much when viewed on different systems. I adjusted my monitor according to the grey scale there and I nearly went blind. Everything was so light and bright. I looked at the pictures on here, and I think most people have their monitors set darker than the standards on that site. There are a lot of strange streaks on some images when you view them on the lighter settings. I tuned my monitor back to the darker settings. I like my rose colored glasses. ;)

Edit: Wow, Xod. I tried that. I can't even see to do that because the whole screen goes almost completely white around gamma 1.8. I can't see to move the slider any more.

Settings depend on what kind of graphics card and monitor you have. It is really hard to congifure all the settings in a pleasant way. (especially if you use monitors of different types, cameras, scanners, capture cards, separate 3D or video overlay settings) I wish I knew a website with visual tests so I can configure the monitor and the video card so I could follow some "standards".
My monitor contrast and brightness settings are set to 100% (max)
When I configure my video card's to gamma 1, I can only discern the man's head, hand and tool, his blouse just fainlty and a small part of his trousers. The rest of the picture seems completely black.
When I configure gamma to 1.94, I can discern all of the details completely, but the column looks dark.
When I configure gamma to 3.97 and above, most of the shading details fade away, but I can discern an additional 4 colour pattern on the previously plack pillar. Did you intentionally paint this Miss mazi?

Miss Gigge, my gamma settings go from 0.50 to 6.00.

yeah the pillar was supposed to be solid black. :P

You know what? This should have made it in showcase. This is wonderful. You should do more of these. :)

Why thank you, laurael.. that's so nice of you to say. :)

Oh, I want one, heis so cute and you did such a good job , love it, and I agree with Laurael :)

This is excellent! who is she?? really good one!

I have no idea, but thanks :)

She looks like a very cute, happy kid. This is really nice.

heh, ray charles.
charles parker maybe. i like this plenty lot good.

It's not bad at all, Lori. The lighting and highlights are great.

This rocks pretty hard! Nice portrait.
Ray Charles? I highly doubt it!!!! You gotta be blinder than Ray to think that's him!

I don't think this guy is fugly, I think Michael Jackson is fugly. People say Michael looks like a white women, I disagree, I think he looks like an alien. He should have left his face alone back in the 80's, he has a serious racial identity crisis, species crisis as well. He could do a remake of Thriller and not even need make-up.

Lol your English is better than my Spanish, sag@!

It's the Little Blue Man! Great pic, sage.. I love this. :)

it's the little and cheat on man.... tell him that he live forever, but the people want to erase him...

you two created a great one! the line work and color goes perfect together. rats off to you both!

This guy should be titled "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" because it looks like that is what he is saying...great pic

nice gollum lips lol

I like the chicken feet. Those are awesome.
