Hi Shel,

You shouldn't have written that... now I need new glasses! I just
found out they have a slight yellow tint! Perhaps it's the power of
suggestion I hope :)
Not only that, but both of my eyes display colour differently. My left
eye is warmer, my right eye is colder. Fortunately I am looking at the
monitor with both eyes (or none, depending if it's a nightlong editing
session or not <g>) open at the screen, but I look only with one eye
trough the camera... :)
Another question - I use 5000 degree Kelvin fluorescent tube (it's a
graphic design one, with proper full spectrum, Ra index of 95) when
editing on the computer. I was looking for a compact fluorescent (that
is, one with the electronic ballast built-in, which you jsut screw in
instead of normal lightbulb) with that colour fidelity, but couldn't
find any from several big makers. Anybody knows if such a thing
exists? I can get plenty of Ra>95 linear tubes, but they are too long
and big to screw in my normal lamp ;-)
Good light!
