Adjusting Your Monitor for Grayscale
Grayscale Steps from Black to White
The image above shows 17 grayscale steps from black (value of 0) to white (value of 255) with a
step value of 16. Your monitor should clearly show a difference in brightness between each step. If
this is not the case you should adjust the brightness and contrast of your monitor until it does. After
brightness and contrast adjustment you should perform the appropriate color adjustments per your
monitor manual. Proper adjustment of your monitor will allow you to see images on the web the
way they were intended to be seen. Grayscale image and text courtesy of Chuck Vaughn.
