[Digital BW] Re: ABW vs. color-managed workflow for B&W prints

2007-12-18 by chriskjezp

Well, this is interesting.  I'm now looking at the color-managed
prints under incandescent light, and they now look much closer to what
I see on my screen.  

Earlier, when I was looking at the prints, it was in a mixture of
incandescent light and sunlight (bright, overcast day) coming through
the window.  I wonder if the cooler temperature of the bright overcast
was giving the prints a green/blue/cooler appearance?  Because now in
100% tungsten light they look pretty good.

The ABW prints are still significantly darker than what I see
onscreen, so that problem remains.

This color management stuff is tricky business!  Someone in another
forum mentioned a special lamp that is color balanced (how does that
work) that is good for viewing prints under.  Anyone know what I mean?
