No More "This brand's color vs. That brand's color"...

Aug 2, 2010

I just picked up the X-Rite color passport.

All I can say is WOW!!! To have a profile in ACR (works for Lightroom OR Photoshop)

I havent been this tickled since I learned about Profiling papers to printers.

The below shot has only had two curves and sharpening applied to it. Colors are DEAD ON. It actually took away 2/3s of my super secret (double dog dare ya)workflow.

I found that most of it was adjusting colors I knew were not correct but at close as I could get. This changes everything.
