Pop Quiz: What is the color temperature of the light hitting your monitor right now?
Followup Question: Do you know why it matters?
Many people do not give much thought to the light hitting their monitor while editing photos. Yet it is critically important if color accuracy is important in the least. Let me show you the importance with a few shots. See if you can guess the color temperature of the light hitting the each screen. Know that my office is a small 5′ x 8′ room, off-white walls and a skylight overhead. (Exposure of each shot was balanced in post production with only the exposure setting itself increased to match other shots.)
