Right, it's just to balance the color correctly: http://www.digitalartsphotography.com/instructions.htm
Mastering The 18% Grey is Pro stuff Mastering The 18% Grey is Pro stuff. Like gamma by prediction and chiaroscuro. Not everybody needs it know what makes it looks good and nowadays everybody's computer shows it differently anyway. Find a program, turn the thingies on the control panels until it looks good to you and the other persons computer will show it differently. Now....if everybody calibrated their monitors.....well, that is another class.dd:
Oh~Thanks for the link, Jesh! Oh~Thanks for the link, Jesh! You can be the good teacher & I can be the bad teacher (?). Should we tell them about the other tools/color cards/calibrations/pitfalls? I hope so. I developed my 1st roll of film in a peanut butter jar, by inspection, in the 50's. We had to paint the jar black because the towels shoved under the bathroom door leaked light. Now almost everything is different and I expect to learn that from you and your links, so thanks for sharing.:eat: Oh~and every camera, EVERY camera is different
I'm lazy. I set up the lighting and do a custom white balance using a grey card. As long as I don't change the type of lights in place, the images are going to come out really close. I really hate to edit color later. It's nice to just crop it and go.
Great shots , I'm still trying to get some decent shots with my Sony , well back to the drawing board for me . rzage
