Viewing Tips & Technical Information
Click on the thumbnails to display full-size images.  Use the navigation links below the full-size images to move forwards or backwards within a collection or return to the thumbnails page.

All images are JPEG format to achieve a balance between quality and file size.  However, some image artefacts due to JPEG compression are unavoidable.  To display images correctly your monitor settings may need to be adjusted.  The images have been processed to look best on a display set with a gamma value of 2.2 and a colour temperature of 6500 K.  To check if your display is set up correctly look at the greyscale below or click here for details of a simple test.  The images have been processed for viewing on conventional CRT displays or flat panel displays set on medium sharpness.

If your display is set up correctly then you should be able to distinguish between the black / white background and the levels below 10 / up to 255.

For optimal viewing please make sure that the image has not been re-scaled by your web browser, resulting in a blocky appearance.  Full-screen browsing is possible by pressing the F11 key.  A display resolution of at least 1024 x 768 is recommended.  Navigation within a collection may be done using the 'next' and 'previous' links below the image, or by clicking on the image itself.
