Regards, Murray Doug Nelson 10-09-2006, 09:08 AM It depends on your output. You want to calibrate your monitor to simulate where your images will be printed. 5300 used to be standard for magazines, etc., but that's improving. 6500 is a good compromise for inkjet, etc. 9000+ would be if your audience is largely viewing on uncalibrated monitors (ie: the web). skydog 10-09-2006, 10:05 AM Interesting discussion...when shooting with a camera where do most individuals shoot their color temperature - especially when not shooting Raw. |
