Скачать или смотреть No more dark prints? How a $15 light meter & viewing lighting lets you match your prints to any room

Take you print production up a level and see how to match the brightness of your prints to the room you are showing them in. Calibrating your monitor is important, and many monitors are too bright, but understanding viewing lighting with the aid of a cheap light meter makes your whole print process more predictable and repeatable.
