>>4340818Does anyone here use a white balance card set or color checker? I recently got back some scans of color negatives. Every single lab I've ever used has delivered scans that need some color correction. It's typically not much, just the usual scanning crap where the shadows are too green or something.
It's normally not too hard to mostly correct them using Darktable, they turn out looking alright, but not perfect. I was thinking of using a color checker or a white balance card set so that when I go to correct my scans I can use the color checker once and then apply that to all the other images so I have less work to do and more consistent colors.
Thing is, when I downloaded a photo of a color checker and changed the RGB levels on purpose, then tried to use the color checker in my fucked up picture to try to correct the image, it didn't really work. So I figure if I'm using a color checker in a scan rather than a raw file from a digital camera it won't actually be something simple that saves me time.
Am I just using darktable wrong?
