Why are all the images so dark / light / banded / grainy?

While we cannot diagnose all viewing problems, some common ones are: • Image is too light or too dark. Different monitors have different color temperatures. Correction for these differences can be made by adjusting the display gamma; this is usually a setting in your display software, although some high-end systems can adjust the gamma for the whole display subsystem.

Most web browsers cannot adjust gamma. See the Colorspace FAQ for more information on this and a wealth of other topics. €¢ Shaded areas are split into distinct bands of color.

This is probably an effect called "Mach banding", which is due to the relatively limited selection of colors available on so-called "hi-color" displays. Such display modes usually go by the names "15-" or "16 bits per pixel", "thousands of colors" (or the numbers, 32,000, 32,768, 64,000, or 65,536). Many people think of these display modes as essentially the same as TrueColor mode, but they're not.

They actually have fewer colors available overall ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
