Dear list, After using my camera for quite a while, I have sometimes had real colour matching problems on location, even cheking on a laptop. I have come up with a way which seems to work well, with nikon capture, of course photoshop curves could do as well.
This is work shot on a d100. Shoot raw. Take a custom white balance reading on a grey or white card on the wb settings for the light you are in. Then shoot a shot with the grey card and a gretag colour checking chart in the shot. Then when you get it back to nikon capture. Bring the image up. Use the mid, white and black pointers in the curves palette and click in them to create a custom curve, adjust exposure and save. Use the white balance option as recorded value as the raw file has stored that custom white balance setting you took earlier from the grey card. Save that setting and apply to images in that same light source. Seems to work well. Anyone any other ways they do it at all. A cheaper thought was to cut up a grey card and have the white side stuck to the grey and black piece of card could give a similar result. But you wont get the other colours to fine tune. cheers Ian Reynolds =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
