)I took photography in college in '74-'75. A couple of months into 2nd year I had to drop out due to ill health. At first I planned to go back, but after I got out of the hospital later on, my plans were different. I still have an interest. Last year for fun I looked into the photography program at my old alma mater. It's completely digital now. So no picking up where I left off, or anything like that.
I looked at my two prints again tonight. Under the yellowish light of curly fluorescents, the 2200 print looks best. Under a 150 watt incandescent bulb which has a little more blue light in its output, the 2200 print still looked better, but the skin tones were less rich looking. Under a "daylight" curly fluorescent, the skin tones were weaker still, but still looked ok.
It was an overcast day this morning when I compared the prints by window light. So that would make the light even bluer than that of a sunny day. I recall that an average sunny day has around a 5000K colour temperature.
I am wondering what it is about the 2200's print dyes that make them appear so weak in blue light.
