It looks generally fine to me James, as Winsor says. I should want to
adjust the levels a little and get the brightness up; a couple of
points though:
1. Confirm that you have calibrated your monitor using the System
Preferences-Displays-Colour-Calibrate.
2. Confirm that you have set your monitor's Gamma (the Wintel setting
appears to be favourite - 2.2).
3. Confirm that you have set your monitor to D50 or D65, depending on
your preference.
