Goon Factory

Factory making goons; somewhere on the way to Matsuyama.
I'm having some trouble with the reds in the sign here. On this page the red is very patchy and pixelated, but it looks smooth on my photo software display. I've tried noise reduction and a colour changer to try to fix it but it looks the same. Does anyone know why this is happening? How does the red look on different peoples' monitors? Thanks!
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

The red looks great on my display, great shot too.

@Richard_Irwin: That's interesting Richard, I wonder why it looks that way on mine... Thanks.

Actually it's not bad at all, I've seen a lot worse, but I don't know how to fix it....Still, I wouldn't have noticed on this photo as the GOON/compo made me chuckle :)

I can see some noise on the bright red, the dark one is ok. Nice repetition!

I've had it on scans from slides or positives, and always red. I thought my scanner was not good...

Looks great on my LCD monitor at work (uncalibrated). Have you calibrated your monitor with something like Spyder 2 pro? My guess though, based on what others have said about downsizing, is that it has something to do with the downsized resolution on Animus. I've been downsizing my images to 800 pixels and at that size they pixelate at sizes larger than animus "large." BTW, that's GOO. N, so they're really making GOO N's aren't they?

@Twelvebit: I don't downsize images any more Twelvebit. I checked different sizes a few months back and couldn't see any difference on what was posted! So I just started leaving images on the regular size they had when taken. I haven't used the Spyder 2 thing but did the check that was linked from the news page recently and that was fine.
GOON. GOO.N... either way they're cranking them out and Popeye should be told....
