Hello all,
I have several digital cameras at my studio, an original Leaf brick, a
scanning back, a Coolpix for scouting, a Lightphase, and an H 20. My
supplier has mentioned a new product coming out that should accurately
profile digital cameras. A concern I've always had with this idea is the
strobe/light color temperature and response of the camera chip. If we
profile one back to Broncolor strobes and then use Speedotron location
strobes, what are we doing to the captured files once we gray balance? For
that matter similar make strobe heads vary in color temperature. In the
old, old, old days... I used a color meter and corrected each strobe to a
known film emulsion. But with different chips acting as different emulsions
these days, the wildcard is the color temperature of the light. Plus some
strobes put out too much UV and products metamerize differently than with
other strobes. This makes it difficult for consistency. Too many
variables, my brain hurts... My question then is: has anyone heard of this
process actually working or the product itself? Any experiences?
Thanks for any responses, I've been trying to follow the posts for a little
while now and honestly most of it is beyond me, but I seriously appreciate
everyone who questions and those who respond.
Regards,
