Splash Screen feature
« on: October 02, 2006, 01:38:56 PM »
Kirk,
For laptop users, the correct viewing angle of the screen is important.
So before viewing/editing images I usually bring up a 2.2 gamma space evaluation image so I can angle the screen properly.
I was wondering if some sort of gamma evaluation image could be incorporated into the Photo Mechanic splash screen, say add on one side of the splash screen a 2.2 gamma space image , on the other side a 1.8 gamma space image. This way one could adjust the screen angle while waiting for the program to load?
Just a thought, it could be useful, but not one of those must-have features.
thanks, nati

Could you send me sample images that you use for this evaluation?

Thanks,

Nati,

I had to remove your posting because I don't think the image you uploaded is in the public domain.  I would have just removed the image, but the forums software wouldn't allow me to simply remove the image and leave the rest of the text.

Feel free to post again, with links only.

Thanks,

-Kirk

Kirk,

this web site has gamma evaluation images.

I image the gamma and color bars can be tastfully incorporated in a splash screen...
