I am using spyder2express for the first time to calibrate my monitor
for printing photographs to my Epson R800 printer.My question is as
follows what is the best room lighting to use with the calibration is
it ok to have the room light on or is it best to use daylight.The room
I am in at present is not vety bright,in fact could be described as
fairly dark with the light off.Even with the light on it is not all
that bright as using energy lamps. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.
For CRT monitors, VERY dark is right. For LCDs, dim is right. Anything that doesn't seem dim is too bright. The light color isn't that important, unless you are using it to view prints. And Daylight, no matter how wonderful the color and bredth of it, is TOO BRIGHT, and TOO VARIABLE to allow into a serious digital imaging space!
