Dear Marie-Noëlle what you describe as 'lobster' I have named 'hypertonic' people. Whatever we call it, it seems clear that we have an issue in DT as far as skin colors go. In my case this is a Leica M9 and red seems to be way to intense. This means, that I need to fiddle with each image with people on them (there is a Leica like Base curve alright).
My question is: how do you handle this situation when you switched of the basecurve. Do you use the Tonecurve instead? And if you do, hwo did you create it? maybe I can learn from you. greetings Eildert On So, 2013-08-04 at 22:10 +0200, Marie-Noëlle Augendre wrote: > I said a few days ago that the basic curve gives lobster skin to > people.
