It’s difficult to know what amount of brightness and contrast to adjust in postprocessing when you become distrustful of the settings on your own monitor. So as a forward to most of my photos I’d like to say that, on my monitor, everything looks fine while on others they might look overdone or neglected of needed work- I know that’s sort of subjective but I’m thinking In terms of my presentation being exactly what it was meant to present, rather than it deviating from my own intentions- . Once I get a laptop I’m sure I won’t really have to mull over this worrisome factor much longer. In any case, thanks for the support.

Approximate settings: 100% contrast and about 55-65% brightness
