Lighting scenes come from the print workflow
· Progress
Two of the studio’s scenes come from my notes on color-managed printing. Grading, in the Study, asks for a dim, steady, neutral surround near D50: about 32 lux, never above 64, and no light falling on the screens. Print viewing, in the Lab, puts the editing wall at D50 and full brightness, aiming for about 2,000 lux for critical viewing and 800 for ordinary viewing. The everyday scenes are simpler: Work at 4000 K and Evening at 2700 K.
The brightness percentages behind them are first guesses. One light-meter reading at my desk and one at the editing wall will turn them into the lux targets.
