I posted this under another subject heading. I would like to get some
feedback on this point.
Thanks,

It seems to me that using high brightness value for a monitor setting is
good and appropriate for obtaining maximum
dynamic range from the
display. A good thing to do when your final
output is a transparency.
However the recommended brightness used in
calibrating monitors in most
of the software packages that I have used
(ICC Display, Optical, Barco's
Calibrator Talk) seems too bright if the
final output I am trying to
match is a print (specifically ink-jet print
here). Shouldn't the
displays be calibrated to the same brightness
as the conditions under
which the print will be examined (not
necessarily the final display
conditions)? After all, the point is to be
able to match the monitor to
the final output.
