Getting It To Look Right
If you run a gamma program like the one that comes with Photoshop, ignore this. If not, you may wonder why wallpapers often look too dark or too bright for your desktop. It's because people set contrast and brightness differently on their monitors. A rough way to get a good result is to set your monitor's contrast setting to 100% - that's right, 100% - maximum contrast. Set the brightness to anywhere between 50 and 65%. Just try to keep blacks looking fairly black and whites looking fairly white. ;-) That should help a lot.
