    Resetting my gamma anywhere in a range from 2.0 to 2.8 using
http://www.bberger.net/gamma2.gif (Your reference gives me greater than 3.0)
did not allow me to view your image. Of course, since gamma conversations go
on here quite a lot, I had already tried this or else I wouldn't have
mentioned it. My standard setting, before I messed with it in an attempt to
see your image, is around 2.2

    Yes, it appears relatively normal.

    This happens with about 1:10 new posters here. 90% of images can be seen
quite easily, then someone posts something that is black on black. Of course
when someone mentions it, they protest that their system is the standard and
that making it so that most other people can see it ruins the image. Human
nature I guess.
