I pulled hayfever_109 into LR3.0 and fiddled with the sliders a bit. What looks right to me on my laptop would be very subtly different: temp = -7 from original exposure = + .10 from original saturation = - 2 from original
I was going by flesh-tone appearance more than anything else, with secondary attention to the overall feel of the scene. At first I played with the tint as well, -5 to -10 seemed to help, but dropping the saturation just a touch seemed to obviate the need for the change in tint. Bottom line: for my money you are pretty much spot on. There will always be variation in appearance according to the color of the light under which any prints are viewed; I am not sure that this sort of subtle manipulation is really called for. But to double check you might try viewing your contact sheet outside under daylight conditions as well as indoors under artificial lighting. If you still think they look too warm or too red, then apply the (minor) general changes I and others have suggested. BTW, I think you pulled this off quite nicely. stan On Jul 31, 2010, at 2:56 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: > Hi Everyone: Not having much stage and theater experience, I was wondering > if those folks who do, would be willing to check & see if the white balance > is acceptable in the small gallery below.
