Gary, >>> I'd recommend that you play with values between 1.8-2.2, along with the color values of the material and lighting.<<< I usually leave the Gamma at 1.8 but because I was having trouble with this particular shade of red I've gone to the "Pyros" 2.1 gamma Standard…So far this hasn't helped much. I'll keep the variation's thing in mind though for the Gamma. >>> That said, deep reds are extremely hard to represent in NTSC video, but not impossible. <<< Well the whole trouble started when the client sent me a sample. I gave him the exact same shade I saw on the paper….it was also scanned in and I converted the PCX file to a Gif file in Photostyler at default settings in Photostyler. Of course when the client saw that he said…."Too Orange"….I made it darker…."Too Pink"….then they tell me to go for "Fire Engine Red because it matches the Rug in the Presidents Office…excuse me while I get my carpet sheers. <g> Basicly I think if I could get a little more Shine plus a deep dark red they'd be happy….Red _IS_ the most difficult color to do because I swear that 2 out of 3 people see it differently. <g> Thanks Gary!
