[QUOTE="Dyers, post: 325009, member: 27282"] The goal is definitely to correct the image to accurately represent the colors we worked for. Immediately after reading about white balance, then shooting using a custom white balance setting on his D40, we noticed much improvement in some images, but others that seemed unaffected. At first, we looked for relationships in the colors that were difficult. We theorized that certain colors were more difficult to get right; yellow is more difficult for some reason, but I don't know if that's a WB issue or not. Eventually, we found that many reds, oranges & especially yellow solids, and some variegated yarns using analogous colors, color wheel neighbors as it were, were the difficult skeins to bring to accurately represent the colors in the yarns. I'm anxious to try this using raw, a white card, and the additional smarts we've picked up from you. Waiting for a battery. Incandescent, then, seems the more practical for us, but with time & available cash at a premium, this is a variable I'd like to check off the list without doing a lot of experimenting to find it. Should I look be looking at wattage, at color, at (do they even still use) lumens? If so what sorts of values am I after? Yes, Adobe Camera Raw. I didn't know I even had it until your video showed me how to access it through Bridge. And it was a jpg I tried; I haven't made a raw file yet to play around with. Remember how Edith Bunker's facial expressions changed as she came to an understanding something? I caught mine doing that as I read your lossless editing explanation, including the answer to my question about shifting. Not too fast; it is making sense. I'm only mildly frustrated that I can't try this stuff out until the battery arrives; hopefully, that'll be Saturday. [/QUOTE]
