My original post concerns the colour of the image on the LCD for
the purpose of editing and discarding. If when viewing red blossoms
they appear blue
if red flowers appear blue, then that is not at all satisfactory. that's very very wrong.
I do not think that is satisfactory, although this
seems acceptable to some on this issue. Perhaps even a mono
display would be OK for some!
Jfelbab. Goes onto a different issue of the LCD during the taking
of shot.
I still have not had anybody coming back saying that they have blue
red blossoms on their LCD.
blue red? are the red flowers blue or red on the lcd screen? blue red or magenta red (which are the same) is red. red with a blue, or magenta, cast. yes, my reds have more of a blue or magenta cast on my camera's lcd than they have in photoshop on my computer. i've already said that. but i'm not at all worried, as long as they're red. if red objects looked purple or blue on my camera lcd, i'd be taking the camera back for repair. as long as they're within the spectrum of red, i don't care if they have a slight orange or a slight magenta cast.
Surely the must be somebody out there with an observation on this
issue.
what colours do red objects look like on your camera lcd screen. are they red, magenta, purple or blue? to cycle around the red to blue spectrum, you have red, magenta-red, red-magenta, magenta, purple-magenta, magenta purple, purple, blue-purple, purple-blue, blue. so what colour would you say your red flowers match in this spectrum? because i'm getting a little confused by what you mean by "blue red". in colour terminology blue-red is red. it's red with a magenta cast. an object can't be blue and red at the same time. well, it can, but then it wouldn't be red, it would be magenta.
you see, if your flowers are somewhere in the vicinity of red, however you want to describe a cast to either this or that, i just can't see the problem. if they're blue, yes, that is indeed a problem. it's especially not a problem if they're fine on your computer screen.
as to editing in camera, not a good idea. you can't see if shots are out of focus. you can adjust colour on your computer but out of focus is disastrous. i have a nice big memory card and i keep just about everything i shoot. except the out and out bloopers. i cull them out once i can see them properly on my computer. you really can't judge a shot on the lcd. even at 8x magnification.
but to reiterate, red flowers are red on my lcd. not the same red as in photoshop on my computer -- slightly more magenta (blue) -- but red nonetheless. they are certainly not blue.
Please let me know. Regards jp
