Hi,
Well no, that's the problem. The lights on this gig were
absolutely horrid,front lights consisted out of bright orange &
red, the backlights were a mix of white with red & blue L.E.D.
lights with the occasional pink thrown in just to piss of my Nikon :D
Picking a white spot in the back (illuminated by the back lights)
renders the front objects (musicians) even worse and no amount of
toying with the white balance seems to actually help. Maybe I'm
missing something obvious but since I have no clue about image
processing in general I'm stuck.
Cheers
From what you said, I guess the light temperature is inconsistent on
the whole picture, as you have different dominant colors all over the
scene.
You can make no miracle, here: either you choose the white balance
that suits you, either you go for a black and white picture.
That makes sense, the thing is, the embedded jpeg has much better white
balance than what I can achieve, partly because I have no clue what I'm
doing. It would be nice if I could figure out how the camera did it.
The suggestions you made are what I'm currently doing but I'm sure there
is a better why. Just need to figure out how.
A more complicate alternative would be to apply different white
balances on different parts of the picture (using Gimp for example, as
I don't think DT is yet able to apply several different white
balances) but you'll probably loose what made the special atmosphere
of the picture.
I think the next version will make this possible, but I'll get by with
what I have now. Thx anyway :)
