RE: [Digital BW] Light source for hue evaluation

2007-09-30 by Eric Neilsen

If the clouds in the sky don't match your prints, maybe you need to move ; )


 

If the clouds alone are the problem, remove or greatly diminish the color
from the clouds.  There was an extensive discussion about light sources,
color temp, etc.  some time back. I view prints under several conditions and
weight the results toward the tungsten/daylight environment that most will
be seen under. And in either case, color or B&W, the exact hue of your
clouds will not for most viewer determine whether it has merit to be viewed,
but rather the whole context of the image on the wall.

Richard - if you have the luxury of knowing ahead of time the lighting under
which the mural will be viewed, why not correct it under that light source?
That way you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it will appear,
installed, as you envisioned it.
