Its largely adaptive. One of the things I like about the new high luminance
LCDs is that I now have a way to allow the editor in the corner office (who
refuses to shut out that ocean view) to reasonably select from images
carefully corrected in the basement by a serious color geek working in a
darkened room on a d50 monitor. Yes the two conditions are pretty divergent,
and the shadow detail may not be quite the same under the two (and will vary
in the editor's office when a cloud crosses the sun)... but its quite close,
and good enough for editorial decisions.
