Copy and paste could be useful, but comparison of two pictures on two displays has this problem: If the displays are not producing an identical response, and they won't be, you may produce errors in your picture when your using one monitor and tweaking it against the picture on the other. Just how close you can get two monitors to look the same, for crucial comparisons, depends on the monitors. This is a long standing problem in television production, and it takes expensive, and identical model, monitors, and frequent re-alignment, before you get them producing close enough similar pictures that you don't get really annoyed about it. The long standing solution was using monochrome preview monitors for your cameras, you only have two variables with them (brightness and contrast), rather than set up and gain of each colour, plus different phosphors in different monitors. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
