Re: Washed-out color?

I created several images using a light, bright green color: R=153,
G=204, B=0. The color looked perfect at the time but recently it
looks gray with a slight tint of green. It appears as if I have
lost the original color.

The loss of color appears to be system-wide,

Of course! It's the action of the "wear-bit". It indicates the age
of the pixel and signals the image processing software to degrade it
appropriately.

Seriously. How do the prints look, or is this strictly for monitor
display? Can you put up a couple examples, please?


Hi Pico,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is an example at http://www.usernomics.com/images/colortest.jpg .
The lines and the solid bar at the top should look like a bright,
light green color. On my monitor it is now displaying as gray with a
slightly green tint.

Thanks Again,

Bob
