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
