Too dark...black art. Very punny of you :) Anyway, the pictures are png's. They look fine in the GIMP (where I edited them), and gqview, and in Scribus. Ironically, they also look fine in xpdf and Reader on Windows. It's only Reader for Linux that displays the problem. I haven't done a monitor profile since I've never needed it. I did set my color temp to 6500K though. I don't have 5.08 anymore, so I can't check it on that. But xpdf displays the pictures correctly... -- Fail to learn history-repeat it. Fail to learn rights-lose them. Learn both-get screwed by previous two groups.
