VIEWING TECHNIQUES FOR CROSS-MEDIA IMAGE COMPARISONS

Several viewing techniques can be toed to compare CRT images to printe d images under different illuminants and luminance levels. This resear ch examined five such viewing techniques including memory, successive- binocular, simultaneous-binocular, simultaneous-haploscopic, and succe ssive-Ganzfeld-haploscopic viewing. The results showed that these tech niques yielded different results when comparing printed originals to m atching CRT reproductions, derived using various color-appearance mode ls. Memory viewing was determined to be the most appropriate viewing t echnique for further study of cross-media color reproduction. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
