I had a great idea, too bad that it didn't work
The dance venue for the evening dances at SFLX had the lights turned way down. Not only did this make photographing dancers dancing to fast music a challenge, but it brought the color temperature way down below the 2000K that lightroom will adjust for. In the past, I've cheated by exporting my finished lightroom file as a tiff, reimporting it, and then setting the color balance on the intermediate file, thereby expanding the adjustment range of lightroom. Realizing that the adjustment brush will also adjust color balance, I hoped I could add a bit more temperature adjustment by using that on top of the adjustment for the whole frame. No joy, it only seems to work within the parameters which I already have maxed out. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

You can get more out of those image files by using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor and creating a customized camera calibration profile to bring the values into ACR/Lightroom's operating adjustment range.

I learned everything I know about it from the Adobe pages and from using it: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles:FAQ http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles:Editor On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 5:08 PM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: On Sep 19, 2012, at 5:06 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: You can get more out of those image files by using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor and creating a customized camera calibration profile to bring the values into ACR/Lightroom's operating adjustment range.
