How to solve the color difference problem of taking pictures

(1) Camera settings

For example, some cameras belong to portrait photography. Then, the photo style set by the camera is also adjusted to portrait mode. For the photographer, this setting can restore the skin feeling very well, but for the clothing itself, it will change the color temperature and its own color. Therefore, the best photo style should be standard mode, which can restore the color of clothing more faithfully.

(2) White balance setting of the camera

The white balance setting of the camera is that the user recognizes the white and gray of the digital camera. Generally speaking, the color temperature of light varies with the scene environment. Therefore, you should change the white balance setting of the camera in real time according to your shooting environment, so that it can better restore the color.

(3) How to use the grey card

First turn on the camera, check the white balance setting inside, and then select the latest current lighting environment setting. If you don't know which setting to choose, use automatic white balance (AWB), and then take a photo with a gray card, and take it again every time the lighting environment changes or the shooting location changes. You can also let the model hold the gray card and put it near the subject to compare it with the contrast gray card.

After the photos are uploaded to the computer, first load the photos in the same lighting environment in Camera RAW (a plug-in for Photoshop to process raw files), then find the one with a gray card (usually the first one), select the white balance tool from the top toolbar, and click the gray card in the photo to adjust the white balance.

Now the software will automatically adjust the white balance and calibrate the photo color. At this point, all you need to do is synchronize the same settings to all other photos (in the same lighting environment).
