Hi,
I am trying to do plush cow rendering but my hairy version looks like is dirty. The only difference between those two models is displacement map...

And additional question, how to make surfaces appear darker / brighter w/o messing with bitmaps or sliders? Or it is just completely wrong to have bitmaps with 255,255,255 or 0,0,0 values and I need to re-edit them in Photoshop before I will be able to use them in Maxwell?

Hm, the "dirt" you see is probably shadows from the displacement "spikes".
If you use low displacement resolution (hard to see in your cow pic) the "spikes" might be rough and blocky, causing these shadows.
I did a test with a rather high disp.res. and didn't get the dirty look:

About darker/brighter....not without touching any sliders. If you want to do slight adjustments on texture brightness, saturation etc, you could do it in the texture selection window ( the one where you open the texture when working on the material)
