A photographer asked me today how to solve a problem he's run into a few times when shooting interiors for architects. Here's the situation: he shoots 4x5 film, scans it and then does any necessary retouching before printing the image on an Epson 2200. The client wants the colors on the prints to match the colors of the actual walls etc. in the room he's shooting.

Dear Dennis

I'm all for accuracy and perfection, but I believe that this particular request is likely to be an exercise in futility! It's not like reproducing a colour target under even and perfectly controlled copy lighting after all.

The best that can be realistically achieved IMO is getting the shadows and highlights neutral and where there are identifiable neutrals to get them recording correctly. Make sure brightness, contract and saturation are correct and you are pretty well there unless there is a particular dominant colour that needs attention.

Cheers

Richard
