Am I COLOR BLIND?? Why does my site look this way?

    Hi everyone,

    Does the photos of the "white cups" in the following link seem to disappear due to the bright white background?

    http://greenoproducts.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=37

    When I look at it through my Acer laptop of my iphone it looks fine but through my desktop, the white cups look too white and disappears into the background.

    Do you see what I see??

    Thanks for your feedback!

    -Adjust brightness, contrast, color of your monitor.
    -Some monitors display the picture using 16bits, 32bits, or 64bits. Your picture does not look the same on every computer.
    -Is your dog picture a transparency picture? What file extension is your dog picture? try .jpg/jpeg and no transparency.

    i was just shocked to read the first line " AM I COLOUR BLIND"

    The picture looks fine to me. Adjust your brightness and contrast ratio. Its not that you are colour blind. Just visit doctor if you feel there is really something annoying you. Don't take any late measures with your eyes.

    If you are having problems, odds are good others are as well. I would increase the contrast.

    Nothing to do with colour. The tonal range does seem a little compressed though imho.

    White cups on a white background in a overexposed photos are obviously going to bleed into the background. You could take better photos, but I don't think customers will care too much, after all, they are just paper cups.

    My best advice is to use a slittly darker background and som darker frames to make the image "pop" - it is important to do this if the goal is to make it stand out.

    No problem seeing them, may be the contrast of your monitor does the trick. use some background for pics or frames (border).

    DO NOT PUT A BORDER AROUND THEM.

    They are fine, adjust gamma/colour/contrast and you should be good to go.

    As above, they look fine to me. I would resize them to match the size they are placed in though, it looks better quality.

    They are fine to me but I can see it being difficult for some people to see. Perhaps change the bankground they are on or change the contrast/brightness of the image itself.

    I see them but white cups and lids on a white background isn't ideal.

    It looks pretty fine to me. I agree with the others, try adjusting the contrast.

    INNOVATI is right, don't put borders around them.
