Fair enough, but then why have a setup with such strong color bleed? You 
would probably be better off with more neutral colors, and not have to 
sacrifice the direct lighting whose absence makes Arnold look so dull.

I've never seen a picture of anything on a Lego box cover that looked as 
bland as this.. and I have seen many, many "outdoors" miniatures shots 
that were far more interesting, if not necessarily convincing.

When you really only have 8 bits worth of luminance, and many of those 
256 values aren't being used, then obviously what you DO have is going 
to be rather granular, at best. Although I'm sure that you (and probably 
Gilles) know that already. ;)
