I use a Samsung SyncMaster T220, with Brightness 40, Contrast 75.
What would you say about these settings? Or does it not at all influence a workflow?
Maybe the mid tones were too dark because I had already adjusted them in the RAW versions. When I find the time and the mood again to upload some pics, I will.
However, I am still puzzled somewhat. Having uploaded pictures since 2008, I never came across the term Luminosity when it comes to editing and uploading pics on this great website.
And I still have hundreds of pictures in stock, ranging from 2010 until 2016...

In my feeling the first time I read about the luninosity histogram was after the take over of the site by Flightradar.
Since then I had more rejections for darkness.
But also when I take a look at what has been approved in the datbase I see pictures that suprise me beeing accepted because visualy they are about the same as the one rejected in my case.
To be honest, it is no fun anymore.
Sorry.

In the past we said adjust the histogram, which is also still good enough for 95% of all cases, but there is always a small part for images, where the histogram used makes a difference. Luminosity shows only brightness, RGB show the distribution of colours. Inf you overdo it you can have a correct RGB histogram and a strong colour tint in your image. As some complained about them having adjusted the RGB histogram and still getting a rejection, we are now a bit more precise in maning the correct hsitogram version. Nothing more nothing less.

Hi,
We started using the term luminosity histogram because it's more correct than histogram alone. But I can tell you that nothing has changed at all in terms of what we accept or not. As always, we're more than glad to help you solve these issues via the forum.
Regards
Alex

Nothing has changed and in the case of the rejected photos it makes little difference what histogram you use, because both show more or less the same problem, which is underexposure of the midtones. That is something which can be easily fixed using curves. To be honest I was a bit disappointed that an experienced and well respected up-loader did up-load a batch of photos which looked as if you never really looked at them and just adjusted the histogram to fit-

I had not been on the website for a long time and I started uploading pictures again some two weeks ago.
And... out of ten that were screened, I had eight rejections, all pics were "too dark".
Then it came to my attention that suddenly we use the Luminosity graph instead of only RGB.
So I read a little bit on how to follow this new procedure. But when I do follow it, my pics all became ugly as hell, pardon my French.
All reality vanishes from them. When I focus on the Luminosity graph and I do as I should according to the rules, they become way too bright.
I also wonder: why?
What was wrong with the RGB method?
I have withdrawn all other ten pics in the queue because they would certainly all have been "too dark".

The only thing I can think of is, that maybe your monitor is not set up correctly. An easy way to check it, is to use a calibrating photo.
