LittleWolf said:Sorry for going a bit off-topic, but I was wondering what "natural colour" photos (made by others) look like to you. Do they look natural (i.e. like the real scene), or do they have weird casts?
Del_CtrlnoAlt said:there was once my psychology lecturer said... how would you know that an angmo with blue eye will see more blue than us, or we see more black or brown then them?
solarii said:Colour balance is extremely subjective. You can vary it depending on the mood you want to convey. There's no "right" or "wrong" colour balance, only what you want your image to look like.
The description normally used for colour balance is "accuracy", which is used to describe how faithfully the picture replicates the actual scence. Any constant deviation is known as a "colour cast".
Don't worry too much about it. If you're happy with the look of your photos then you're fine. There's probably nothing really wrong with it. Else use the variations command in photoshop to do necessary changes.
wind30 said:?? unless the target audience is only yourself... Ultimately you want to present the image to someone else and so you must know what the image will look like to others, which is a bit tough for color blind people. I think the best thing is to use a grey card and don't adjust colors...
LittleWolf said:That's not really what I meant... more like, if I give you a photo with colours that look like "real" to me, would it also look like "real" to you?
What I'm aiming at is if/how metamerism works here ...
Del_CtrlnoAlt said:if i ask u... using the same reply as before... how would u know that the real red you see is the real red seen with the person having brown eyes, blue eyes or green eyes?

LittleWolf said:You still don't get the question. It has nothing to do with individual perception, but the physiological response of the cones.
To formulate the problem mathematically:
Let A and B be different spectral distributions that result in the same colour (i.e. tristimulus) for the average observer. (The fact that completely different spectral distributions look the same is known as metamerism and is the primary reason why colour photography/printing with a fixed small number of primary colours works at all.)
Then, do A and B also look indistinguishable to someone who is colour blind?
