Pankaj, yes, in digital.. I used to find it quite frustrating... so Now i try to find a matching fabric or paint swatch to photograph if I am clicking the red flowers at home... just to remember what the original flower looked like.. esp in the prosumer sony, but in my DSLR I can play around..
in ancient (sic!) times.. in kodachrome it was a breeze and in ektachrome a bit of enhancer like neodynium coating on glass or pink filter used in microscopy of histological slides was good... or many of the nd filters did the toick... one i liked the best was the polarizer... any way... need to adapt to the new..
