It would probably be some weird lighting situation like a concert where they use three red lights and two green ones. I've shot in some places lit with red rope lights, usually converting the shots to B&W. I've wondered if things might come out better if they were lit with green rather than red. IIRC, there are twice as many green sensor sites as red. ================ I've been finding the dropper tool in Lightroom rather useful. You use it to click on the thing in the photo you want to be the base white. (I am sure there are better Lightroom terms for all this.) Resets the color. Works before conversions too. I just recently "discovered" it. Marnie --------------------------------------------- We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
