Colour-correcting CFL bulbs?

[Pictus]

Photo Ninja can create a "Custom Light Profile" that works like a
super white balance that uses all the color patches from a card like
the X-Rite Passport and not only the neutral ones, it is very easy to use...

Interesting link, thanks.

Do you know what type of file it produces? DCP or ICC (ICM)?

[Pictus]

You are welcome, it does not produces ICM/ICC/DCP, the sensor and light profiles(2 different things) are for Photo Ninja use only.

I use a softbox with four daylight CFL bulbs, along with bounced flash for most of my dog portraits.

I don't seem to have much trouble adjusting the color by using a WhiBal target and using the white eyedropper in ACR.

Richard, that is a very interesting comment you make since no one can argue with the success of your dog portraits!

I shot watches for years with two 13W Sylvania mini-craft CFLs, 85 CRI.

Although their spectral emission was typically spiky, I only had problems with one watch out of about 500 or so, and that was more due to the camera in use than it was to the lighting.

Although fluorescents are said to be really, really bad, it does all come down to the lamp's spectral emission, times the subject's spectral reflectivity, times the camera's spectral response . . hmmm, might as throw in accuracy of WB while I'm at it . .
