Also, add to your global settings block assumed_gamma 1.0 (some will 
disagree) so long as your monitor gamma is set right (defaults to 2.2, I 
think, which is typical for a PC) it should get you a better tonal 
range. Higher counts are a must, and can add greatly to the scene (at 
the cost of render time)
