Position seems to have an effect, even on my computer screen, before printing. On a 32” really good, calibrated EIZO screen, if I put a series of small images, or 2 larger ones up, and shift their positions, how I perceive them shifts too. It happens even if the images are identical.
Standing in my studio up to my knees with test prints, this is a genius idea. I’ve noticed that the first print you see becomes the standard (good or bad).
Do you have a recommendation for a home “studio” solution for print evaluation viewing that is not cost prohibitive? I tend to evaluate in window light on a living room wall. Might be nice to have a small viewing station in a dedicated work area.
Left out several crucial aspects..
ID back of prints 101 with critical data, soft pencil
Colour Blindness in General & Female/Male Ratio
Visual Colour Compensation & or Retention - the more you stare
.. a fun Print story (and housepainters know it’s true - too)
Once upon a time we laid out 20 Cibachrome Prints for client approval
A stunning spectrum range it was .. as an array seen together
Highly discriminating Client shrugged ‘nobody’s ever seeing em together’
House painters know how many wall surfaces one can see at the same time too..
Too prove your point re colours the viewer is wearing ?
Housepainters laugh re shades of grey paint versus room shadows
and ambient window light per time of day & winter vs deciduous trees
Our eyes & vision are Miracles ..
Camera, film, screens, chemical, paper & presentation are only Amazing
Love em both most dearly .. 🦎🏴☠️
