Center-of-disk and limb observations of photospheric brightness fluctuations reveal a systematic suppression of the values at the limb. This is a geometrical effect arising from the line of sight at the limb passing through various structures across the surface. This effect is examined here in the light of recent granular temperature models using a simple model incorporating the dominant granular scale. The geometry is found to have little influence on the deep-seated granular brightness field but to strongly suppress the brightness fluctuations caused by the upper photospheric temperature field. The significance of these results for the restoration of limb observations is discussed.
