[Leica] Digital Dark Room Advice

[Tina Manley]

Bob,

I researched this before I painted my office and decided on Zone 5 gray.  I
mixed it myself to match the MacBeth color chart.  Besides not reflecting a
cast on my screens, it is a beautiful, restful color.  What is probably
more important is to wear a neutral color when you sit in front of the
computer!

I have a terrible problem with dust, but it's getting better since Tom
moved his saws to the garage!!

Good luck.

Tina
