Hope this is of help, the white balance tends to be better performed on a neutral grey(kodak greycard) if you perform this on white card it is easy to overexpose and get a duff balance.(from memory this is a bit misleading in the manual) Within custom settings (camera) you need to assign a colour space, I use Adobe RGB, then shoot in 16 bit nef mode, uncompressed. Also within custom settings there is a preview setting that allows you to view a thumb nail and also the histogram ( this will be the way to judge exposure)andif the white balance is wildly incorrect the image thumbnail may show a colour shift. I have had this at times but I just repeat the white balance. Within Nikon, capture you need to set some preferences edit-preferences-colour management open colour sync and choose profiles, if in doubt you can use Adobe rgb(1998), however there is Nikon Adobe Wide, and many more ( this should give a wider gamut) Next choose display profile for your monitor Next choose a CMM, auto or Apple seem to work for me. The image can then be opened within Nikon Capture Editor, perfom any edits that you require, for a batch you could save any adjustments, then save the image as 8 or 16 bit rgb tiff. This image should open within photoshop and look the same as it did within capture, if it does not then it may be worth checking your colour management settings within photoshop. ie choose a working space, and a colour management policy, I find it worth ticking Ask When Opening for profile mismatches, then if your Nikon image does not have the same profile as your working space, at least you will know about it. This may sound complicated but if you set camera profile then capture preferences and then photoshop preferences, the image should move from the camera to editing without any major changes. hope this works for you matthew =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
