Re: [Digital BW] Re: Light source for evaluating prints? (off topic)

2007-01-30 by Gary Brown

I must apologize for this off topic rant. I'm getting tired of self 
promoting expertise.

You missed the entire point of my post.
< I know some people on this list see themselves as experts in everything, 
but lets try to keep the
BS to a minimum and stop pulling facts out of mid air. There is enough real 
expertise on this list to serve everyone.>

It seems that no matter what the thread, if it goes on long enough, you will 
find a way to brag about yourself (slight exaggeration) or promote a product 
that your company sells. Both of which are not the purpose of this list.

Please lets not waste bandwidth defending or supporting my comments. I just 
occasionally need to raise my hand and say enough BS.

Not regarding display lighting; but regarding proofing lighting, you will
find that digital signage uses the same standards as graphic design and 
digital
photography: D50.

Here's an article covering standards for digital imaging:
