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?
