What I did was raise the brightness some along with some contrast. Still doesn't get the colors right. I use Paint.net its free. Also, I take my photos of the paintings outside under a porch which has lite but in shade. Your colors look great anyway I wouldn't have none if you didn't say anything.<br /><br />~KirbyRandallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944587596023240421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690656268066487141.post-44577015960154544502010-06-10T11:54:38.321-04:002010-06-10T11:54:38.321-04:00Thanks much guys!

Hell I've got both monitors calibrated and they both look different! :(<br /><br />I scan my paintings now because want high res versions and they are a million times more clear. My camera eats it in comparison. Oh well, I'll keep trying.Jeff Mahorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12016103350730438809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690656268066487141.post-73431441528255974972010-06-08T15:45:24.859-04:002010-06-08T15:45:24.859-04:00http://www.qhart.com/Q_and_A/north_light_filter.ht...http://www.qhart.com/Q_and_A/north_light_filter.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690656268066487141.post-2361124234597300742010-06-08T15:37:27.138-04:002010-06-08T15:37:27.138-04:00I know exactly what your talking about. When I pho...I know exactly what your talking about. When I photograph my hand dyed fiber, natural light is the only way to get an accurate photograph. <br />Helped more than any other "tricks" I tried. Didn't need to set the white balance or mess with computer fixes. 50mm lens was also helpful.<br /><br />Jeff, this painting is a favorite! stunning. <br />the color and light are beautiful.<br /><br />=>)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690656268066487141.post-25123041655820722232010-06-07T17:07:55.426-04:002010-06-07T17:07:55.426-04:00Eeks - I wrote "Jay" instead of Jeff!

I would suggest calibrating your monitor (you or a computer-person) and then uploading your photo (that you've taken in bright shade) directly to your computer. I wouldn't think you should have to colour correct then. Good luck! Computers are great when everything is going swimmingly, but there are days you're glad a sledgehammer isn't nearby.Kim Rempelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010163424578410675noreply@blogger.com
