Ha-ha, Bill.
Thanks for explainin it to me. But I loved your last two paragraphs and to
further show you how right on the money you are to advise not to think things
over and over and over and over, I will admit that I did loose sleep last night
thinking...And part of it was how to explain the fact that when I look at the
same image on the new monitor my perception changes...It was early in the
morning, when I was able to pinpoint the "problem"...The images displayed look
more like slides than prints if you know what I mean. Hence, the concern I had
last night about the adjusting the whites.
May be I should think less, although that is in direct conflict with what
wifey thinks...sari, at the end I would do whatever she sez is right, coz you
know, she's the boss.

think things. Color perception was a consideration well before computers and
digital photography. Much more important than the viewer's eyes is the light
under which the print is viewed. kodak used to make a print that demonstrated
this; when viewed under different light, it looked dramatically different.
We have learned to ignore these considerations. You would have to make
individual prints for each viewer. This isn't an exact science. Bill Pearce
