To return back to a normal window, press the F11 key again.

For the best contrast and brightness settings to view the images, adjust your display's contrast to 100% and then adjust the brightness until you can see each
individual section of the gamma bar inside the grey box below
(including the darkest zone on the left).

Also, be sure that your display is not illuminated by any direct light (artificial or natural).

Keep in mind, the images you are about to see have been compressed and resized with an attempt to balance between image quality and acceptable download performance. To fully appreciate the quality and detail of these images,
we invite you to visit one of the exhibits on the Exhibits page or
order a print using the link provided under each image.
