Re: Yellow Home Lighting - Color Cast & Skin Tones

Shoot a fixed color balance - doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's the same one for everything you shoot in that light. Include a gray card in your first & last frames. Use the white balance eyedropper on the gray card in Lightroom or Photoshop (ACR). Synchronize the images in between.

Re: Yellow Home Lighting - Color Cast & Skin Tones

A few years back I did a series of reproduction of oil paintings in private homes where i HAD to get the colours right. I bought a gray card that I took one shot of at each location. Then, in Lightroom I could select all images from that location, use the WB eye dropper on the gray card, so

Re: Yellow Home Lighting - Color Cast & Skin Tones

Yellow Home Lighting - Color Cast & Skin Tones
