Equalize is a filter in Photoshop. I use Equalize as a indicator to make very light grayed area better visible. I don't use it for editing, but only for checking cleaning progress. Gimp hasn't such filter, thus you need another tricks for it. Because Equalize works quickly without many settings, i can do it very quickly.
On my CRT monitor, i cannot see much without using Equalize filter. |
Let me rephrase that: can you see any of the gray areas of the first version, on any monitor (CRT/LCD/whatever) just with your naked eye? If not, why bother removing them? (took me around 20 minutes for version 1, and additional 60 minutes for version 2)

Not easy question.
I know your version 1 is normally good enough for CRT users. But in the world, the LCD monitor is more common view in the home, and because LCD can view a bit deeper colors, and let also better picture lightgrayed areas, i want do good for both sides. Thus i mean, when i clean pages enough that light grayed areas are removed to good white areas, then it's useful for LCD and CRT users. This has also little reason for printing pages. Light grayed areas can become to some black dots on the printed pages, which is not beautiful. Some users print it out to read it offline. (not every user likes reading on the monitor)
And i can check easy here for lightgrayed areas with my LCD screen trick. If you cannot clean deep enough because you cannot see very much or it needs too much time, then i shall do the final cleaning step for you. Just say where are your cleaning limits, thus when you cannot see them with your monitor. I shall not ask for more cleaning.

Actually, you are wrong - LCD has far LESS colors than CRT, and numerous problems with them as well.
Just look at the Input RGB/output luminance graphs - you'll see the problem:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/print/19inch-3.html
For dark colors they display colors very badly(they reduce differences between them), for bright colors they overly-enchance the differences(here's the origin of very obvious gray areas).
While you can correct this with the software methods, nobody does it - because that would destroy response times for the LCD.
If you wish, you can emulate this with the appropriate settings for color profiles in Photoshop.

hey, it's not a problem of my limits. I just wanted to know if LCD users can actually benefit from the additional cleaning. You say they do, so it's ok, I'll do the additional cleaning.
