I'm not sure where to post this so please excuse if I'm in the wrong forum. I have a Cannon EOS Rebel T3 EOS1100D. I have a problem taking pictures to use on Ebay. Other photos aren't a problem. I am a beginner. The problem is getting a still closeup without getting a dark background or too light a background. I have a light yellow kitchen where I take the photos. The kitchen is not bright. I have tried using a tripod, an external movie lamp, flash, no flash, lights on lights off. The photos always have a brown, grey, or dirty yellow background. Right now I am trying to take photos of a silver medal enclosed in clear plastic and the photos are terrible. I have tried different settings and I still take terrible photos. I have tried changing the WB, ISO, f stops. I have also tried using different papers as backgrounds, white to black and all colors in between. I would like to take a photo of the medal with a white background and not a dirty background. Can anyone suggest what can be done? I also use Photoshop CC and even that doesn't help.
Without seeing the photos, I can only assume it might be the kitchen light making the background off-white. DSLRs aren't great at White balancing indoor lighting so have you tried shooting Raw and adjusting the WB in raw editing software like Canon's Digital Photo Professional or Adobe Lightroom? Jpegs are not so good for correcting white balance.
