Sony A7/(r) image sharing thread #3


wow... you got a nice view from your place...
Thx. Actually, I face the lower hdb blocks roof. This view is when I clamp my camera out of the window and face it eastward. Kinda risky hehe.
 

thank you! It's a magical lens, given the right light :)

Thanks bro yeah and also you need to create the lens profile hehe

I have not tried that technique you doing. May need you to share us your workflow if you don't mind hehe


Happy CNy

Here is what I do :

To correct for it, I am using 3 ways (interchangeably and sometimes a mix of them).
This is mainly for the vignetting, but method #2 takes care of the color cast as well.

Method 1
=======
1. Just use the CV12 profile in LR

Pros : Fast
Cons : Can be a tad too aggressive in the corrections causing the file to be brittle to further PP.
No help to the cases where the color cast is strong (seems its strong sometimes and not as obvious in others)


Method 2
=======
1. Shoot a white wall on long exposure and jiggle the camera about (so that its only a blur of the wall with only the vignette and color cast)
2. In LR, use a combination of CV12 profile and adjustment brush to correct the vignette and color cast.
3. Leave this 'correction template' in a folder in LR.
4. When correcting a CV12 photo, simply click on this 'correction template', click back to the shot to be corrected and click 'Prev'.
This will apply all the adjustments onto the photo.

The advantage of this is that I can usually leave a bit of 'under correction' which is often not too obvious but leaving the file with some mileage for other PP.

Method #3.
========
1. Create a Template as #2
2. Shoot a normal exposure shot and one that is 1.5, 2ev over exposure.
3. Use the template to create a mask in Photoshop
4. Use the mask on the over exposed shot
(I save this as an action so its really easy to apply)

This obviously gives the best quality file (but does not correct for the color cast).
Can be combined with method #2 with just tint correction of course.


Hope the info helps.
I've yet to try paid options, though I did not like using Adobe Flat Field Plugin (slow, hassle, aggressive correction, too many files to manage), seems Cornerfix is about the same.
