Monitor settings can change an image, without a doubt. I know that thread opened my eyes. I am going to try to give a written description or at least "color" description on my adds. It has been brought up before, (not about the monitor settings, but my orange dragons) so I already put something on my adds saying "they are not red, but they are orange" I was beginning to think my monitor needed adjusting (which it may still) but at the least, we have shown, that from the one pic I posted,
some saw brown, some orange, some red, some rust. That is just too many variances to ignore.

I am going to do the "Coke" can in a pic tomorrow. I didn't have any coke cans here to do it today. (Pepsi has been the one doing the $1.99 12pk. sales this summer. lol) But tomorrow, I will get a pic of one. The guy I used in the pic today is in full shed so he won't work.

I can't wait to see if the coke can looks normal on everyone's monitors. (even if it doesn't, it doesn't mean it's their monitors, camera settings, twist the whole thing up too.) Maybe what I'll do, is take a pic with the coke can, check it on my .com and then take it to a neighbors house and see if it looks the same, or if the monitor can be adjusted to look the same.

Gold dragon sure helped me understand a few things bellow that's for sure.

Later.
