justbananas Posted April 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a probably dumb question. When it comes to making color rite profiles, I'm left wondering if one should make a separate profile for each lighting condition? Or does a single photo of the color chart, made into a profile, suffice in all situations? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Hi justbananas, Take a look here Color-rite profiles. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wda Posted April 24, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2019 I believe one technique is to integrate two profiles, eg one in shade and one in sunlight, into a single profile. It is worth searching for a video based on Pantone techniques. There are many by independent producers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 24, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 24, 2019 The software allows for single profiles for different types of light, or even at each shoot, which is the way I like to use them, or one can make a dual-illuminant (preferably halogen-sunlight) one for general use.

lenspeeper Posted April 27, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 27, 2019 ! would Think that using a color checker for your first shot would solve the problem. I carry around an x-Rite Color checker sometimes for just that purpose. Take the extra step before post processing and the Colorchecker app. does the rest. https://www.xrite.com/service-support/downloads/c/colorchecker_camera_calibration_v1_1_3 Welcome, dear visitor!

I just never knew if you needed to do it for every different lighting situation or not. I have two profiles now for my cl under two lighting close but different lighting situations, and going back and forth between the two in lightroom .. you can't tell a difference. That might not be the same though for drastically different lighting conditions. I should just try it and find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that would be a real sign of obsessive-compulsive behavior. But under questionable lighting situations, or if you are in doubt the Colorchecker Passport is very useful. In most situations, the LR and P.S. tools for correcting white balance in post processing seem quite adequate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but for instance shooting an M 240 in tropical sunlight will give an orange cast by IR that is near-impossible to get rid of. A Colorpassport profile will save the day.
