Maybe I'm a Tetrachromat

Media_httpuploadwikim_fxkcb
The normal explanation of tetrachromacy is that the organism's retina contains four types of higher-intensity light receptors (called cone cells in vertebrates as opposed to rod cells which are lower intensity light receptors) with different absorption spectra. This means the animal may see wavelengths beyond those of a typical human being's eyesight, and may be able to distinguish colors that to a human appear to be identical. via en.wikipedia.org

So, we're developing - well, have developed an iPhone app at work. Some of the graphics have a little bit of white around them, or pixelation that no one else can see unless the screen is enlarged. It's a funny thing because they kind of think I'm crazy since they can't see it...but it bugs me.

I haven't gotten Photoshop for my laptop yet - I have to do everything at home on my desktop... so it's frustrating--- which will hopefully come to an end soon!

Search for "Oranje" end up at "Tetrachromacy". Drawn to the visual, it is a strength..
