This is great in theory, and great if that is how the print will be viewed.

More than likely, however, prints, whether in albums, galleries, or books, will be viewed under low-intensity tungsten light most of the time.

Results in common viewing light (dim 2800K) after working on the prints in "proper" viewing booths (bright 5000K) were always disappointing for me; especially with color prints. Once I stopped using a viewing hood in favor of household tungsten lamps, my prints improved dramatically.
