Mottling is barely visible on my Eizo F76 (calibrated with Adobe gamma

Reason for me to suggest velvet was that I loaded the whole 1.7 Mb
image into Photoshop and looked at it with 200% magnification. To me,
it looks definately like some kind of fabric, and velvet was my first
association. The dots are lined up in a curved (or maybe folding)
pattern, and they are very uneven in size and brightness.

Main point, I guess, is that the mottling is no kind of digital or
optical artefact.
It's quite visible (when viewed at full magnification) on my Viewsonic
PS775 but it definitely looks like the texture of the cloth they used as
a backdrop.


I was beginning to wonder if my monitor, LaCie electron19blue, was playing tricks on me, but if Bill and you guys see it I feel better about it (my monitor). That that mottling might be fabric texture never occurred to me. Glad there are possibilities other than noise (though, even if it is noise, it isn't intolerable).

I'm really impressed that this Pentax dcam image isn't that smeary-TVish look I've seen in samples from earlier Pentax dcams. I hope we get to see a wider range of samples soon.
