Re: Color correction, more latitude in camera than lightroom?

2010-10-25 Thread Rick Womer
Larry,

In the Develop module, under HSL/Color/BW, have you tried clicking on HSL, and 
then Saturation, and desaturating the colors that have a blue component?  
That's all I can think of.

 will peg at 2000K. This means that if I take a picture that
 was corrected in the camera and try to twiddle the color a
 little bit, then the color temperature ends up even further
 off.
 
 Is there some way to extend the color temperature range in
 lightroom?
 
 Alternatively, is there a way to just tell lightroom to
 turn the gain down on the red channel? I've found the
 sliders at the bottom of the D screen, but those seem to
 work on things that are red, rather than just dialing down
 the red element of every pixel by 20%

Check out the Camera Calibration panel to manipulate the range of
adjustment available in other Develop module panels. You might need a
customized camera calibration profile, which you create using Adobe's
DNG Profile Editor, for lighting situations which are extreme.

(To create a custom camera calibration profile, you need to convert at
least one PEF from the camera to DNG and use that as an editing basis.
The resulting profile is usable regardless of whether you edit PEF or
DNG files from that camera.)

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
