Pintpot Posted May 1, 2023 Share #21 Posted May 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Had an M8 for 12 years, and will always regret letting it go. I never had a problem with colour files, generally good, using the cut filter. But without the b/w files were 1st class and for IR really good fun. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Hi Pintpot, Take a look here M8 and the UV/IR Filter...a comparison image. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Volodimmer Posted May 3, 2023 Share #22 Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I want to show two frames taken without a filter. The first is a the result of processing in LR. The second is jpg from the camera. The difference in contrast and saturation is due to the separate preparation of files for publication. Welcome, dear visitor!

I've never been able to get good results in post without the UV/IR. Can you share what you did? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volodimmer Posted May 4, 2023 Share #24 Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Thanks. In LR, on the Color tab, move the two sliders to the left: Magenta and Purple. That's all. Edited May 4, 2023 by Volodimmer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitt Posted May 5, 2023 Share #25 Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) @Volodimmer Indeed, a good result. Do you have an example in low light? These are usually harder to fix. Edited May 5, 2023 by dpitt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volodimmer Posted May 5, 2023 Share #26 Posted May 5, 2023 This shot was taken at 18:12. After 1-1.5 hours turn on street lighting. The processing is the same: LR, on the Color tab, move the two sliders to the left: Magenta and Purple. Welcome, dear visitor!

Volodimmer Posted May 5, 2023 Share #27 Posted May 5, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think there will be color loss. But, as in the case of HDR, the intuition of the photographer should suggest an acceptable solution in processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 5, 2023 Share #28 Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) This topic has been covered to death for many years. I shot this comparo in 2012 mind you. Simple fact there is only one way to get accurate colors with M8/M8.2. It is to use IR-cut filters. Welcome, dear visitor!

Don't know exactly what you did, but by your instructions, it didn't work for me. I use the UV/IR filters anyway, they are infallible and do not cause me any grief.

Volodimmer Posted June 12, 2023 Share #32 Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Hello David. I also use filters and also without problems. But I don’t have them installed on all lenses, because I couldn’t buy the right size. Edited June 12, 2023 by Volodimmer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volodimmer Posted June 12, 2023 Share #33 Posted June 12, 2023 Later I will send a screenshot of the LR settings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtai Posted June 15, 2023 Share #36 Posted June 15, 2023 Here’s one with 21mm Summilux. I didn’t have the uv/ir in Series 8. Also the M8 auto white balance isn’t great and that guy probably wasn’t wearing purple. Interesting colors with the mixed lighting. I didn’t spend any time with this in Lr and was only a test shot.

What do you expect photographing a purple t-shirt by M8 without an UV-IR-filter, even more purple? Take pictures by an M8 of a symphony orchestra in concert without the recommended UV-IR filter and you will immediately notice on your screen the main cast musicians dressed in expensive black suits and the poor helping students, whose synthetic fiber suits shimmer in magenta. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
