Why does all the before-pics have a black level of 15? Makes them look very grey. Either something is wrong with the source you're using or something is wrong with the way the screenshots have been captured.
Thanks for pointing that out. I don't really have any tools for doing this sort of thing properly, so the only thing I had on hand was Fraps. That is what lightened the black levels, and from what I can see it lightened everything pretty much evenly. So the comparison isn't entirely accurate, as the brightness of the source should be about 15 points lower.
