Methods and apparatus for reproducing the appearance of a photographic print on a display device are disclosed. An environment model is built from received light conditions at a light sensor attached to a display surface. The environment model and a surface model are applied to an input image to generate an output image. The surface model represents reflective characteristics of a simulated surface on which display of the input image is simulated. The output image simulates an effect of the received light conditions on the input image as simulated on the surface.
