Unfortunately, damn our eyes.

We have great dynamic range in our own eyes, yet we find it hard to see the different steps between the dark blacks on a uniform colour scale chart.

This is why JPEG quantization (the lossy part of lossy compression) compresses the dark areas.

This is also why LCD's and DVD's and digital TV is a bad idea, because we loose all that black space :-( and you get blocky artifacts (edges that aren't really there)

So if you up the contrast on this image, the part you want to see just looks like a pop-art painting, all squares and shit.

sucks.

Humans: don't let the black hole of colour fidelity kill your image detail. keep your damn images well lit, and in the mid ranges, so later, we can tweak them :-)
