<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Denis Richard, post: 4551847, member: 112673&quot;]- do you have suggestions for capturing the &#039;true&#039; colour of a coin (i.e. standardize white balance?&quot;)</p><p><br /></p><p>Further to my earlier reply, this is a shot of the x-rite colorchecker passport I use for colour management. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126986[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>You include it in the photograph of your lighting scenario and create a .dng file from the image with the software. The software knows what the colours on the grid should look like, and adjusts the image colours to match them based on your lighting set up. Once the profile is made, apply it to the image, and any other images taken in the same lighting conditions. It&#039;s easy and effective. There are a lot of videos on YouTube about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the final image, cut out and coins added. They look similar because I&#039;m shooting with studio strobe lights and my white balance is set at &quot;Flash&quot;. It&#039;s pretty accurate right out of the gate. If you&#039;re not using studio lights, which I believe many of you aren&#039;t, the difference will be more pronounced.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126987[/ATTACH]</p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
