ColorRight MAX Raw Samples

I rounded up a few reluctant volunteers (uh, models), dug out an old black muslin and a few single nasty light sources. Perhaps these may help give you a better feel how the tool responds under different horrid light sources you might encounter on a typical shoot. They are not meant to be taken as examples of how to properly light anything in the studio.

Please Note: All the Jpeg Images Below Are All Jpeg Samples Straight Out of the Camera using Auto White Balance.

They have not been corrected at all.

Please download the Raw files below the shot and click around on the patches to see the results of the MAX.

Re: ColorRight MAX Raw Samples

"The color Max working better than I would have hoped for!

In my first few tests with the ColorrightMAX, I really have to say that it is one of the easiest and most effective tools for proper color balance that I have ever used. The ColorRight is to white balance as an incident light meter is to proper lighting. In a single session my students have a striking and dramatic demonstration of the effects of proper white balance setting vs any of the presets. You can literally put away your color strips, gray-scale, white sheets and set a perfect balance as easily as you would a single shutter release.

Such an amazing device, you have to wonder why someone didn't think of it earlier!"

"Okay, I LIKE THIS thing - lol. This is hilarious - instead of "white balancing" on gray or white spots, I am "skin color balancing" using the skin color patches on this Colorright MAX disk thingy!!!

Oh, just in case it wan't obvious this MAX disk also does the instant normal white balance thru the lens just like the original Colorright or Expodisk, but it also adds the new skin color tool so when you take a picture of it (much like a gray card) you can use the eye dropper tool in your software...to tune in the skin to the right color by clicking on the skin tone patches. Kind of like gray or white balancing - but instead - you are skin color balancing. I LOVE IT!!!"

"No fiddling whatsoever; no trip to PS to worry about overall skin balance."

"...On the engagement shoots I've been shooting with the ColorRight Max, I've had a mix of Caucasian skin types, but also African Canadian and Southeast Asian too. In each case, once I had adjusted for density, the ColorRight dialled in the skin tone, or so close to it that it's a lot less work to get right."
