It just occured to me that Flicker Fixer could double as a poor man's (well, rich man's, no poor man's…after the purchase) Polaroid Palette. The thing that makes PP nice is how it fills in the scan lines so it is not obvious you are looking at a slide of a computer screen. Flicker Fixer does that. Screen shots should approach PP quality. All the usual caveats about bracketing, using a telephoto lens to flatten out the screen, and a darkened room to minimize glare still apply…. unless…. you are using the Zenith flat screen monitor. This behemoth has (suprise) a totally flat screen, no glare, and amazing color saturation. Does anyone here use a P. Palette? We could agree on a common screen to shoot, swap photos and report our findings. — Art
