Canon Thursday photo #16

Recommended Posts

I have been to a Canon testday to play with camera's and lenses.

Would have loved more time working out how to work in a studio, but it was a good day.

Looks fine on my calibrated NEC 4k monitor, using Chrome as my browser.

 

It is visible on both monitors on my stationary computer. I use Chrome to. The monitors are calibrated using an old Spider Pro which is sufficient for my printing work.

It is much less visible on my portable computer especially since that monitor is very sensitive to viewing angle. It might explain why I didn't see it the first time.

 

It is the area where the background light is wrapping around the models arms and legs. The parts that should have been lighter have a different color and is in sometimes darker. Below are two samples from the models arms. The darker color is from the side of the arms and the lighter from the middle.

 

I have no idea how this could have occurred. How was the jpeg rendered? I'm a bit curious to see what the raw-file looks like.

Interesting. I looked very closely, at 200%, and I don't see it. The shins are close to blown out, but the transition between there and the dark shadow looks properly colored to me. I wonder if it was saved as RGB instead of sRGB. Still, given our similar setups, I'd expect to see what you're seeing. ;-(

After looking at the photo again I think you are right Nick: it must be my terrible editing skills.

The model was a bit too dark so I've tried to lighten her and darken the car/background.

The only editing I usually do is a bit of highlight/shadows, exposure and sharpening not anything fancy like I've tried to do with this photo. I didn't notice it on my monitor but on my ipad I see it.

I am also using Chrome. When saving the file as JPEG for no compression, you may just see the option for save as highest quality depending on your software.

 

Some websites will take your JPEG no matter the quality and re-compress the JPEG to save space on their servers. It is one of my peeves when posting images on my Facebook.

I know it is processing error, I am in front of office comp, no color calibration , monitor is average, but that's how the most of people see our pictures. I am pretty sure they not in a hurry to buy NEC PA with Spectraview. Always save web images as sRGB and low compression jpeg, dial up connection speed is already behind us.
