OK so from the PSD file I typically save at 10 high quality cause that is what my lab prefers. is this still ok?

So from the PSD I should save for web keep in one folder and another set for clients digitals at no resolution and the 11x15 ratio in another folder? Is what I'm understanding. I've always used the client file for web use as well and website  To me they look fine on social media and website. So then I guess I should go-ahead and save the web and psd files on  the external?

The web sized can I keep those in the picture folder on my iMac since they are small ? I refer back to those through out the year.

I do shoot studio and I use a flashpoint Xplor strobe ad400 pro. No Alien bees and no Eisenstein either.

This light is also a cool tone color.

It’s definitely the room, I have dark tones in it walls are a light beige. I did send one too you and Brian a while back . I’ll send another. 

I can definitely try that tonight , lets See if I can see anything. There is also glare from the lights surrounding when it’s that low . 

If I try that then I can’t see my screen and can’t see what I’m doing cause the. Screen is too dark :/ 

Colors are good brightness has been an issue for awhile. Prints compared to screen are darker. Ive compared prints from the past and even printed out some new ones and they are still darker compared to my screen. My screen is set to two clicks on an iMac when I edit and calibrated, I use these bulbs as recommended. 

I edit at night with these bulbs. The only time I can edit.

With brightness yes, I edit with 8 bright bulbs around me. 

ok never mind ! I clicked on the wrong link.

Damien I signed up for the Raw class but while reading the the first section I remembered I took the bridge class , signed up again for the $6 refresher and I can't access it ? I guess it's past that time? I'd like to go over Bridge again as you mention before the Raw class. Thanks! 

I will try the auto WB and see how that works out and take the Raw Class.I mostly use Sigma lenses and I wish it would give my images a warmer feel but I get a lot of cool tones.

When using the AWB as you suggested , I don't need to set the green/magenta bar correct? 

Yes, I've been needing to take this class for a while now, a long while now lol! 

I do like the Adobe color for the D850 it seems to work better than the standard. Forget the other option vivid was just horrible. The standard did work for the D750 though.

This camera I can't seem to understand it and I'm about to give up and go back to my D750. The D850 is defiantly a beast.

I've had my D850 for over a year now and I'm not loving the colors. I loved the colors on the D750 a lot better. I'm also finding the camera is contrasty.

I guess my question is , is there anything I can do setting wise to improve color? I shoot kelvin between-5000 to 5600k, is this too cool for this camera? and the green /magenta bar I have set at 0.0.

It seems to be ok for outdoor images but my indoor images with a strobe geez colors are so dull and having to do more editing than I did with the d750. I even recalibrated my iMac to make sure it needed to be calibrated but my iMac pretty stays the same when calibrated. Any suggestions? Not sure you can help if you don't shoot indoor strobe?

Thanks! 

Hello Brian, I've been receiving email from Calibrite about this color checker device, do you know about this and would I need it for the iMac ? 

Another question do you have a section here where I an ask questions about the D850? I have a question about the WB? Would it be under the gear talk section? 

OK, so as you said, it's a bad batch. I think they need to warmed up though.Baby is so pale that when I up the warmth he looks kinda saturated LOL

Thank you.

Yes I just didn't;t know if it would be accurate.

Would it be possible to send you two raw files on a session I'm working on? To see if you see red? make sure its' not me lol

I don't mind paying a fee. I mean Psd file.

lol ok I did panic, but I'll send for another set. Thank you.

Oh dear, I'm not sure if I should trust it  Maybe talk to WHCC again? And ask them to send another set of test prints?

I just compared another pink one and it matched , so 4 prints of 6 are matching 

Yes I believe so , it's been a long time.i just compared a few more and those still matched

ok I compared one that had browns and creams and those two images matched. Then I compared two that had pink and yellow those did not match and the screen did look red in just those to colored images. The cream images I didn't see any red on the screen. ugh.

Yes I do have those.

So I have not had an issue ever with color on my iMac it has always been brightness lol Anyway, I had the lab print a set of test prints with no color correction of course then I also had them send me a set of color corrected prints. My test prints look red compared to the color corrected ones. Now I didn't notice it until I compared the two other wise I would have never seen the reds in the prints. to me they  "looked fine" . Does the monitor need to be calibrated and adjust color or do you think I need to adjust reds in ACR? I've already tried that but it seems when I take out reds it looks green then I come back to reds and then test prints come back red anyway as if I never adjusted them. I use WHCC , I know not everyone's favorite. Thank you for any advise.

Got it! So far ACR is still in the sRGB space but I'll keep watch every time I open. Is the 2021 version a huge program. I mean my iMac is about two years old but still would not want it to slow down. Just curious though!
