Help with probably my last rodeo

[Boy]

It seems to me that your main issue is with what you see rather than with what you do to get there, so I think the eye-popping colour is down to your display, your POV-ray settings and your artistic ability.

Thoughtful analysis and advise!

and you have not once mentioned slow rendering times or sluggish performance otherwise

these things are subjective if you have no benchmark to compare them with. or no other expectation



it will make a difference

....

but as the main query is regarding colour, the monitior and the render settings are the place to start as has already been said

I thought of cataracts too - if a medical issue exists, then I would be looking to advice from a [medical] professional in the use of computers for such purposes...

I can definitely say that my wife's cataracts ( unsurprisingly ) makes her see everything as being darker than I do. She wasn't aware she had them until she had an eye test. Just over a week ago our change to a larger 4K TV brought out some unexpected enthusiasm from her because the TV picture became clearer.

Her perception of the world as being darker has increased as her cataracts have worsened. Don't get me wrong, she does everything that she could do before, but she's definitely lost some definition and brightness. Roll on her operation.

they can creep up on you, slow change is not always noticable.. I hope all goes well, it is at least a routine op in most cases - one eye at a time....

Had cataract surgery about 3 years ago. Minimal discomfort, worst part was putting in eye drops for a few days after. Left eye corrective lens for reading, right one for distance. Rarely wear any glasses, mostly when I drive (just to be sure). Couldn't believe how much brighter the world is and now the trees have leaves instead of green blob.

Thanks for the info - I'll tell my wife.
