Hi!
The sky in this image worries me.
The shot is taken with a camera White Balance of 5000K (according to the menu on the a7r2), my monitor (Eizo CG243W) is calibrated to a target of D50, the ambient light in my room is by D50 Yuji lamps, daylight is excluded. The camera profile is created with DCamProf, the target shot with a Solux lamp run at 15 V to give something near 5000K.
The screen shot is taken of the image as displayed in RawTherapee with basic editing (brightness +80, contrast +40).
The sky seems muddy/yellowish - something that becomes very clear if I move the image to my uncalibrated Samsung screen, where the blue seems much more to my memory.
It does not help
- to change the raw converter (Iridient or RawTherapee)
- to change the monitor calibration target from grey to contrast priority
- to change the camera Profile from my own to Iridients default
When I take screen shots to demonstrate the difference for this post,
there is no difference between them if displayed on the same monitor.
It helps to choose a D65 profile for the Eizo. In this case, the uncalibrated Samsung seems yellowish.
There was some problem that the Mac version of RawTherapee was limited in on-screen color rendition in some way, but the TIF displayed in PhotoLine is the same.
So how does this rhyme? And what should I do for future editing? And worse: with all the past editing, where I used the D50 pipeline?? I remember that I had to adjust the sky separately in some images - how will they print? (I don't print myself, so I can not easily check this).
Sigh!
