You may wonder why colour temperature is important. The reason is very simple: ideally, you should be able to see your image in the same condition it was taken in, and edit it while you experience the same conditions. Our eyes adapt well to different conditions while cameras, displays and any device does not do so by default or does not act as seamlessly. It is obvious that this is not possible to fully reproduce. In most circumstances, you have to consider a typical editing and image viewing condition that considers a daylight setting, at a colour temperature of around 65000 Kelvin. This means that your display must not be overly dim, have altered colour saturation or major distortions that influence the end results. For a good measure the picture has to be still visible and look reasonably well in intense and dim light situations. | You may wonder why colour temperature is important.

<code>''The 6500 Kelvin colour temperature is a standard that has to be remembered, a reference for your creations. While many devices may not have, be configured for or allow such conditions, it is expected that in places that matter, such as exhibitions, on professional equipment, you have to be experienced in reaching it.''<code> | <code>''The 6500 Kelvin colour temperature is a standard that has to be remembered, a reference for your creations.
