HDRI Community

Hi Everyone,

I hope these two items are useful to someone else.

I spent a good 60,000 plus yen gearing up for my first HDRI Panos.  That's big bucks for me as a hobbyist.

As I read about the passport color chart in the HDRI Handbook 2.0 I was shocked at the cost :-0

Fortunately I'm stubborn and cheap, and I just found this:

Pro Photography Color Chart iPhone App

https://itunes.apple.com/ke/app/pro-photography-color-chart/id320095182?mt=8

I just bought it and will use it for now, but as an amateur, I have no experience using color charts.

I'm honestly worried that the light transmitting nature of this chart might neutralize color reflection information one would get from a normal reflection based reference.

I'll use it ( I'm certain it's better than nothing ), but I'd greatly appreciate some expert thoughts on it's validity.


Thanks,
        Tim

P.S.  On a side note I also found this:

Samsung NX200 shutter release adapter.

After spending about 3 days making my own,  this one is better so I ordered it 

There's some excellent threads on color management in this forum.
Bob Groothuis started it if I'm not mistaken.

Just search for it and some others too, you will have less issues later on if you start in the right direction

Thanks everyone,

I thought as much.  I actually used to work in prepress in Canada as a plate maker, so I'm familiar with that process.
