Generally, the color balance and density of the picture is evaluated and approved by the cinematographer and director viewing an answer print in the lab's screening room, which is maintained at 16 footlamberts, per standard SMPTE 196M. The lab also approves a "check print" from each printing negative, and maintains control of color and density using control patches printed in the leader.If you are below the 12 to 22 footlambert screen luminance allowed by SMPTE 196M, a print with lots of dark scenes will not look good: Let There Be Light Measuring Screen Luminance Light Meters SMPTE Standards ------------------ John P.
