That's exactly the problem; I use IE (stupidly!) and I suspect that most others do too. IE darkens the units further; if I click and save your png it will be 10-15% darker than your original. There is a utility for stripping the gamma-correction thingy (Catfish, help: I don't know what I'm talking about ) from png's so that IE displays them correctly. I'll tral back through the thread.

Heh!

Yep, the Utility is called Mozilla Firefox!

Flakpanzers!
converting to mge is no problem beacause they use 256 colours

recoloured it, took me over an hour and 8 failed attempts,( i really need to learn how to shade properly), compare it with the original and view it with x4 zoom and you'll notace the difference, i also wanted to add a guy behind it but i can't draw infantry, that's what caused 6 failed attempts, it looked like gumby manning an artillery piece,

That might have been cool!

none of them looked right, i don't know what scale techmuseh originally envisioned this 105mm howie as
and i put my sig on it beacause of all the crap i went through while playing with it, i even tried some of fairlines ww2 artillery wheels on it but they didn't look right either, it all comes down to the fact that i am a hopeless perfectionist when doing this

now what do you guys think of my flakpanzers?

[Nilat]

There cool!!

It doesn't matter whether the person who posts the png file is using IE, Mozilla or any other browser; the darkening of the graphics occurs when the person who clicks and saves the png is using IE. So unless you have a surefire way of ensuring every casual browser of this site is using Mozilla, it still means that whoever posts the png in the first place needs to strip the gamma-correction thingy from the png using the utility that I've now lost.

I'm not sure if that answer is intelligable
