[QUOTE="randzman, post: 527369, member: 41551"] Hiya, Thanks for reading my newbie problem. I am trying to shoot my first video and it's in a small room. I have a 5x100w 5600k lightbox and additional 100w 5600k bulbs in workman lamps set up 4-5' from me in the stool with a Savage grey background. White balance is Daylight (5600k) and I have to push my color fine balance to full-out amber-magenta ... in the lower right corner.... I made a composite image, sampling, of all the magenta amber combinations. [url]http://philaneed.com/magenta-amber-5600.png[/url] My basic questions are: • Am I doing something severely wrong such that I would need to push the amber-magenta all the way up? (And I believe this is Vivid color mode too... with pushed up contrast and saturation.) • White balance ... I don't have a white card but I've seen videos say that if I was blue-green before the adjustments I could get a very light blue card and set my white balance to that. But rather than print a dozen color sheets from my HP color printer, which can't be perfectly consistent, I wanted to make all kinds of blue color jpgs in Photoshop, 'import' them to my Nikon card, and choose them on the camera. (Boy,,, I wish there was a 'photo-sample' mode where it took a hundred of so sample shots at all kinds of combinations, with captions, so you could simply sort through them and easily get close to exactly what you want.) Thank you. Randy [/QUOTE]
