Digital BW, The Print

I don't sell my photographs--it is all for fun. I never said anything about whether the RIP fixes the mystery of metamerism. Just that I don't see it and neither to many others who I know. And that's it!

  I've seen plenty here in New England - Boston, Lowell, etc!!
  But even if YOU don't have fluorescents plenty of people
  do so you need to be concerned about the light people who buy
  your prints will see them under if you want them to look
  good when they get them home.

  The visibility of metamerism should not be affected by
  angle. (although bronzing certainly would be) - are you sure
  what you saw was metamerism?

  Anyway the bottom line is that because fluorescent lighting
  tends to be peakier than most other forms of light (see:
