There are actually tools built into PrintFIX PRO for previewing and adjusting 
images to the light color and light quantity in the actual display location, 
so I'm certainly not disagreeing with the importance of that; but its still 
necessary to have a broadband, consistant, medium balance light source to work 
under, and its most effective if its to the same standards as others use. That 
means a D50 viewing light.
