The fire department told him he couldn't use JJ's flamethrower illumination this year.

Well, that's no fun.

Seems even with calibrated monitors things look different at different times.

That's why I only do my processing at night. I have a big sliding glass door at the end of my living room, where my computer desk is, and I never seem to be able to get the settings correct if I try processing while the sunlight is glaring on the monitors.

move your computer into a darker room?

The only darker room I have is the bathroom, and I ain't putting the computer in there...

I think you should build a dungeon. Throw the computer down there and call it a multiple-purpose room. Fun for all.

Heavy drapes? Portable standing screen?

The major windows in this room face northwest, not good for computer use during summer afternoons. Lowering the shades helps. I can see photos better in the evening, with the ceiling light dimmed.

But how does incandescent lighting affect the colors one sees? Or does the calibrator take that into account?

lonnie is old, he needs all the help he can get with sight and viewing photos...

Calibrator also measures ambient light, so it takes that into effect.

I have blinds, but they don't block enough of the light in the morning. My sliding glass door faces east, so I get all of the morning light. I want to get blackout curtains for that wall but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I actually don't use artificial light in my living room other than a small night light next to the dog's food and water bowls. When I'm processing my images after nightfall, the only other light there might be would be the TV, if I have it turned on. I prefer to keep the room as dark as possible.

The fella's laughed at me for purchasing stickers for the lift.

That explains a lot.
