[Leica] Digital Dark Room Advice

[Tina Manley]

Somehow I sent that before I finished.  He also advises no windows in the
room, which would drive me crazy, or blackout curtains for the windows.  I
do have light-filtering shades but they are white.

He has lots of other suggestions which might be interesting.
