[Leica] Digital Dark Room Advice

[Ken Carney]

Mine is painted flat white and seems fine.  I have just an incandescent 
light fixture, not too much falling on the monitor, and the Spyder 
software measures the ambient light for calibration.  I keep the blinds 
closed while working on photos.  I have been thinking about this also, 
and wonder if I need to spring for a viewing booth.  Maybe obsessive, 
since the prints seem to match the monitor pretty well under different 
viewing conditions.
