Here is a picture a friend sent to me this morning :



It shows Chinese soldiers that seem to receive a "Monk Pack"...

This picture is circulating on the internet. This is not a new picture, it's known since 2003. As the rumors gorws on the Internet, the Chinese TV claims it has been shoot during the filming of "The Torch" in 2001 ; arguing that the uniform has changed since.

I've just received photos that was printed by photobox.com. They are offering 40 prints in normal quality (not eco) for each new customer.

They just does not understand what an ICC profile is. Color rendition are wrong on all shoots. The colors are just rendered the same way as if it was printed from a Firefox browser without the ICC profile support... As the first time you order you have 40 prints free, I will ask my girlfriend to send test jpegs with fancy icc profiles embedded... So, I will do another post later to confirm this first impression.

Even worse : it seems that they are applying custom algorithms that totally change how pictures are exposed. This is really strange, since some printed pictures are brighter than on my screen and some other are darker !

Just don't send them you're pictures.
