Hi All,
So I have an interesting project coming up where samples will need to be graded based on the difference of their color.
A white background will be use for optimum contrast.
The tutorial here, I believe, has answered my question, but would like to confirm here. Our brains are good at determining what is white under different qualities of lighting (tungsten, florescent etc.). When we use a grey card, we calibrate the camera to see white as white in various types of lighting conditions.
So, when I take my photos under florescent light, I will calibrate my camera under the same conditions, print from a calibrated printer (and monitor) and I should see identical colors from the live sample and printed version right?
Now, lets say that those same samples are under florescent light that is passed through a yellow filter. How can I tell my camera not to correct for the yellow as I want the camera to see the same yellow as we would see in the room?
Thank you for your responses.
Erik
