Workflow pet peeves: Anyone HATE color balance editing?

Hi claypaws,

Actually, I'm sure you
have a calibrator that would do just that.

Brightness (black point) is a hardware setting, not a software
calibration. The only way to set it is to twiddle some buttons or
knobs on the monitor. The black point is what the monitor displays
when the input signal is zero. Software cannot reduce the input to
below zero.

My bad.

Yah, that's why my two photo websites have black backgrounds. I
might move to gray though. Or I could have the option where the
viewer can choose the background "color" (I'll just give black,
white, and maybe two shades of gray.. lol). I'll just have to figure
that out first.

Personally, I would not offer white at all.

I see. The force is strong with you regarding this point. The only reason I would is probably for weddings... MAYBE. But it's true though, I would have to make one set of images compensated for the overbright white, and one set for darker backgrounds. I don't think so! lol.

Take care,
Huy
