I’m not sure about windows platform, probably works there too. I’m a mac guy, but I’ll ask around. Thanks!

Interesting, I had not heard about using the “F” key before. Is this a Mac only thing, or does it also work with Windows 7 (my choice of OS)?

Robert,

Thanks for the comments. One thing, you don’t have to darken your room, as we normally don’t look at images with one light in the dark. Thanks, rg.

James,

You’re welcome. Glad you like it. I’ll keep adding photography and Photoshop tips over time. Thanks, rg.

Don’t ignore the environment around you. I do all of my color critical work at night now as I can’t darken my office totally. My walls are a neutral white, the desk is gray with very little wood trim. My desk lights are full spectrum daylight bulbs. I don’t have all of the expensive equipment now so I checked them using my camera and a gray card.

Don’t forget to train your eye. X-Rite has a visual color perception test on line: http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77&Lang=en
It’s similar to one from a few years ago that used color tiles. I have to admit I’m not as good as I was.

It may also show up some color deficiency in your monitor.
