Viewing Guide

This site is intended for display on monitors with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768, 32-bit color, and is best viewed with browsers that support Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). To help preserve page formatting, optimum browser font size setting is "medium" or "100%." JavaScript is used sparingly throughout the site for mouse-over effects and smooth-transitioning slide shows. To view this site as the authors have intended, be sure to disable any custom style sheets you may be using and it is highly recommended that you have JavaScript enabled in your browser. This website was designed to take advantage of the nice transitions and blending of pages and colors offered by Internet Explorer (by employing CSS filters). Although you can still browse this site in Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera, you will miss out on some of the design elements we use that are currently specific to Internet Explorer.

To view our photographs with the propoer amount of contrast and brightness, adjust your monitor's contrast to 100% and then adjust the brightness until you can see each individual section of the bar below (there are 20 distinct shades of grey in the bar). By doing this, you will be able to view our photographs with optimal contrast and brightness.

The photographs on this website were optimized for viewing on a PC-based system. If you are viewing this site on a Mac, the images may appear lighter than intended due to the different default gamma settings inherent in the two systems. Ambient lighting can also affect the way the images appear on your monitor. Bright sunlight, tungsten lights, fluorescent lights, and dim light will all cause the images to appear slightly differently. When working on and optimizing our images, we use fluorescent room lighting with a color tempature of 6500K which is roughly similar to sunlight. The images on this website were optimized in the sRBG color space so as to have the greatest uniformity on a wide range of monitors.

Due to all of these variables, preparing images for display on the world wide web is full of trade-offs and compromises. We have done our best to accomodate these variables and we hope you enjoy your visit and that our images are colorful and vibrant on your display. If you like what you see on your monitor, we can assure you that our prints will look far more impressive! If your monitor displays washed out images or strange colors, we suggest you upgrade your monitor!

Thank you for visiting Raven Mountain Images!
