Thanks Mark for answering my question! Best Regards, Kwok

How do I not have one of these color checkers yet?!

[davidcmckee]

Mark, Thanks for the great tutorial! How can you measure the color temperature of a light source using Lightroom or Photoshop and color checker passport. Also, I am getting many different white balance measurements on a neutral patch? Click in different spots and Lightroom will adjust it differently every time and makes a difference in my color. Thanks so much!

Thanks Mark. I watch both AdoramaTV and DtownTV and it's episodes like this that are more detailed in instruction from start to finish that sets AdoramaTV above!

[ancientalkebulan]

thanks....Mark. I just downloaded the preset. works GREAT!

9:30 would creating a preset would only work for that specific lighting situation? What is the point to having a preset for this if its unlikely next time it will be very different?

[Snakekilla12]

@adoramaTV Mark, if you did the custom white balance in the camera would you still need to do this in lightroom? I assume no, correct?

is Eile (the model) on model mayhem? I want to follow more of her work... or website, facebook fanpage, etc.?

thanks mark,,your videos are really informative,,,, can we do this with cs4?

[dennisteel]

@JCSolar thanks for the reply. So what happens to photos processed with a particular profile once that profile has been removed?

[JCSolar]

@dennisteel Yes... and yes. :) You need for color accuracy, a different profile every time you shoot. You'll end up with a lot of profiles, but you can easily delete anyone you want by opening the colorchecker profile manager which is part of the software included with the colorchecker passport. It is pretty simple and very accurate. I am addicted to it. The best invention after the wheel and the microwave. :-)
