are these things a scam? or do they make photos look better to normal people

This one isn't too bad to me, pretty subtle. It gives off sort of an artificially amplified golden hour effect.
>>4233287
This one is much more drastic, the wide shot of the sky is heavily affected by it as are the blue tinted buildings. I personally am not a fan since it totally screws up the colors of the cityscape.

Situational and subjective as always. If you're colorblind I suggest you edit your own colors.

So you don't love photography. Proves my point even more.

you should either only do b/w or do something else if you're color blind dude, just saying.

Those things let the partially colorblind pick colors apart, they don't make them a normal trichromat. Basically they filter out the problem frequencies that confuse those people, those in the midtones. Colorblind people are a lot like the modern cameras with bad CFAs, their "subpixels" don't separate colors quite right so for example the red cones might get excited with some green frequencies or vice versa. It happens because their pigments aren't as red or green as they should be but for example orangeish or yellowish. As a result they mistake colors that excite both cones at similar levels. Much like cameras with a weak CFA have duller colors that look not quite as good as the ones from say a D2x or like some Canons have an orangeish tinge to their red subpixels harming their accuracy.

I have friends who've tried them and they were marveled. It's like seeing a world you didn't know before. They may do nothing depending on your exact type of color blindness but are well worth a shot.

OP here - I'm just a tourist who thought /p/ would have experience with these things and could answer my questions. I just take family photos and the occasional wildlife if I see something on my property. I have no aspirations to be a "photographer"

The director being color blind doesn't really matter bc they don't do any color editing, or make any major decisions regarding colors in the scene etc. This is pure cope, photographers have do everything themselves, and having a good set of eyes is extremely important.
>>4233358
Then just shoot b/w

You're so ignorant and don't even know it, sad. Refn and Nolan have signature palettes derived from their blindness. The director is the ultimate shot caller even above the director of photography. Refn has trouble with his blue-sensitive cells so his world is cyan and red. Nolan, being green-red colorblind was doing teal and orange before it was cool.

Presets are in almost all cases trash. If you photograph a sunset or a potato lying on the snow during a rainstorm you have vastly different photos. One preset setting can not hope to fit everything.

Anybody can slide the white balance a bit more yellow, add some reds to the black and put a contrast setting.

It will always look fake and gimmicky, you will still have to spend as much time tweaking the preset as if you just did it yourself in the first place.

Just color correct as you like. This would be refreshing and unique in comparison to normie colors.

Explore infrared sensor mods.

Color's all wacky when IR is involved, so 'accurate' color is not possible and opens a lot of artistic doors.

it's just another frequency, you can do that funny stuff with the RGB bands as well?

I got into photography from the optical science end instead of the creative one

Those pics should be pitch black if they were color accurate, and that's not an artistic term.

you can't represent the visual spectrum accurately either, so accuracy is all a matter of degree as far as I'm concerned
not saying you're wrong, that's just my perspective

It’s a frequency you can’t see. There are things that reflect IR but little visible light.

Also see UV photography AKA bird/dog vision (dogs can see enough near UV to visually identify blood and urine on the ground, which is actually how they always know where to stop and sniff)

IR light overpowers visible light (greens are now white, IR may penetrate paint... reflecting the surface under the color, etc).
so the 'colors' are now mixed with IR and appear much different than when IR is filtered away.
