How far away is your light source from the print when you're looking at it?
I would guess that hardly any galleries use flourescent lights. Yet. I have switched almost all the bulbs in our house to compact flourescents, but I have a few halogen desk lamps.

The key is to use a light source that is consistent, and has a chance of being similar to that where the print will be displayed. I use a diffused halogen incandescent. Halogen is more constant over time than regular incandescent or fluorescent. Also, fluorescent seems to make B&W prints look more contrasty than incandescent.If you find your prints are often too dark when displayed, decrease the intensity of your viewing light.Chris Ellinger Ann Arbor, MI USA http://www.ellingerphoto.com/======================================================================= ====================================== To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
