The NYT ran an impossible-to-miss photograph from Kenya on page one this morning, by
Jehad Nga, to illustrate a story on the effects of drought. The first reproduction is taken from the NYT website. The second is a screengrab from a PDF of the NYT's print-edition front page. The difference is clarity is clear.
From the website:

Either way, it's a disturbing and powerful image.

I thought you guys were against waterboarding. Weird.
Looks like the Web version was done using Macintosh gamma settings, and the PDF using Windows gamma settings. This has always been a quandry for Web designers, but finally the Macintosh, in its Snow Leopard Mac OS X update, has adopted the Windows 2.2 settings
