Hi Larry: I prefer the color in the first set, actually, but your technique
sounds interesting. Cheers, Christine

Subject: Two pass color correction in lightroom
I frequently find myself photographing in lighting that is beyond the color
correction ability of lightroom, usually because of there being lots of red
and yellow colored lights.
I ran into this problem at a dance last night:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157626913661877/
The ideal would be if lightroom just let me push the color correction
harder, either by doing a pre-adjustment to one of the color channels, or
letting me set it to a color temperature cooler than 2000. But, since I
don't have that option, I took the photos from last night, exported them
as TIFF, reimported them, and dialed in a bit more color correction:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157627039017446/
I'm not entirely thrilled with the outcome of these photos in particular,
but I am pleased by the potential of the technique. I think it will work
better in cases where the background doesn't have radically different
color balance, and when I go into the shoot planning on using this
technique. I'd make my first pass at color correction the same on all of
the photos, including one with a grey card, then do the second pass of
color correction sampling on the greycard.
I suppose that the other option is just not to take pictures in places
that has lighting that is quite that wonky.
