Hmmm ... perhaps it's time to check the monitor - it's getting old and it hasn't been calibrated in a while. Kevin, the guy who checks my stuff at the lab, showed me a pic recently that was made using his profile, and it didn't look as good as I thought it did on my monitor. It was flatter, and had less contrast. Of course, maybe i had a headache from all those great pastries at Godders' reception <but it was worth it!>
