startup correction error in v123 and a display question

I just upgraded I guess in demos…went from v 1.00 to v 1.23…no wonder i am in the dark…but when it started up I recieved a startup correction error v123 and told me to contact support for a correction code…anyone have any clues about this…One other question…I viewed my art on this site this evening from a friends computer…and now I see that all my stuff shows up dark …it looks fine on my computer…why would it all show up so dark on other computers even after fiddling with his brightness controls? I would appreciate the help in this…thnx yall :o :o :o :o :o

  1. Correction code: If you are using the demo version then you should download the latest 1.23b demo version from www.zbrush.com. If you are still encountering difficulties then click here to submit a tech-inquiry, please include your System specs, ZBrush version and any other relevant information .

  2. Image intensity: If you are using a Macintosh system then your images will be darker when viewed on a PC system. This is due to the gamma differences between these systems. Unmodified Mac images will be darker on PC while unmodified PC images will look brighter (washed out) on Mac. Increasing the intensity/contrast of your Mac images by about 10%-15% will allow your images to be viewed properly on PC system.

Whichever is your preferred system, it is a good practice to calibrate your monitor periodically to insure that your images are properly viewed on other (calibrated) monitors.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

thnx Pix…I am using a windows pc and the other computer that I viewed from was a windows pic as well…I just downloaded that 1.23 tonight from pixologic.com the version I was using before was/is 1.oo and I got it a cd on pc world magazine…never heard of calibrating the monitor…that is a new one for me… :o :o

check your ( color bit) right click a BLANK area on your Desk top and chose (propties)
and go to the (settting tab) check your (color bit)adjust it as needed.

Hi Ron. Pixolator is so right about calibrating your monitor. This is something you should be able to do thru a decent paint program.
Important, especially if you plan on printing anything out. Although it should be noted that even after calibration, your print out will still display a color/contrast shift - due to the differences of your display’s (monitor)handling of colkor information, and your printer’s handling of the same. You can come pretty close tho.
