Hello all,
I would like to ask your help in finding a digital camera brand that
gives
good color representation when photographing fabrics.
I have had 2 Canon digital cameras now and neither of them is good at
capturing fabric colors. Since I have to put pictures on my website
that
represent the true fabric colors, I really want to take pictures and
have
them be correct without lots of altering (like I have to do now).
If you have any opinions or experience, please share it!
I'm a graphic designer and avid photobug but I find myself correcting
almost every shot taken, in some way. Digitals, and any camera really,
are very bad in museum settings where lighting is usually low or
directed the wrong way than what you need it.
No camera is perfect at capturing colors, lighting is a big reason, you
will need to probably acquire a program like photoshop or photoshop
elements to color correct the photos when you return.
I suggest you buy a pantone book, or simliar color chip book, and use
it as a reference and note it in person. When you get home you can use
that color number reference to refer to to color correct your shots,
but know that ALL Monitors are calibrated differently and it will
appear slightly different computer to computer.
