RE: [colorvision_group] Coler in the home

2006-03-22 by Kris

Jonathan, maybe this isn't an answer, but almost every place that a print
will hang will have SOME lighting differences.  The farther away from a
standard the environment is, the less likely that the customer should,
could, or would complain.  

We do a considerable amount of work for non-professionals, and the color
requirement is nothing technical, just pleasing and close to the original.
Professionals, as you know what a dead-on print to THEIR eye, which is also
something nearly impossible.

I guess what I'm saying is that you should calibrate your system for your
working environment.  Worrying about the gallery or end-user environment
will make you crazy and cost you more in time and $ than it's worth.
