We can use curve graphs, color sampling, and other methods, not just in the blown whites example. In other words its not someone's opinion that the whites look blown on my monitor, or my eyesight ain't what it used to be. It is scientific fact. Of course ther are subjective aspects of images, most notibly composition, but many other aspects can be measured, and thus are truely objective. regards~Bill
