It's quite possible, though I don't have any empirical evidence, that different locations in a single room may be affected differently too. The problem isn't in the number of people who experience the orange shift -- it doesn't matter whether it's one percent, three percent or thirty percent. The problem is the impossibility of predicting when and where it's going to occur. I'm fortunate enough to have to torture my prints to produce the orange shift in my location, but at least three individuals who live in a 5-mile radius get it every time. The problem is real. I've decided to live with it, but whenever I sell or distribute a print I make sure that the recipient realise that it's absolutely necessary to protect it from airflow by keeping it in a sleeve or displaying it in a frame, under glass. Doing anything less is simply unethical, in my view. Bruce -- bruce@pixelboyz.com - Turn off HTML mail features. Keep quoted material short.
