Hello guys

What I am doing wrong with my pictures... is it an error of:
+ camera?

+ light?

+ editing process?

I took a 36 sequence in order to create a 360 product photography.

Still within Lightroom Develop module, in some pictures I have 2 errors:
> when the model car is been seen from the side, blue turns pink

> the background instead of been white, tint is been changed to green

How do I edit pics? If is required a new sequence, what details I need to correct?

Please help me with your comments

I am not seeing what you describe certainly not a big shift in color. The reflections on the car are catching some color from the surroundings which might be what you are referring to and it causes the cars color to move from blue to purplish when you view it head on. You can only avoid that by building a better lightbox that has a smaller opening for your camera so you do not catch reflections that are not white. This would also avoid color casts on areas of the lightbox. Do you perhaps do an "auto" settings or auto white balance on each image when looking at the in Lightroom? That might cause the big shifts you are talking about.

The trick with this series is to set white balance on the background and sync that accross the images. The as shot white balance is way off if that background is supposed to be white. I would use a grey card or a colorcheck on one of the shots to get a better white balance.

Guys thanks to all !!

I reset all my pics and started from zero with minimal adjustments. Also used a gary scale in order to adjust white balance, and the deffect is gone.

Thanks for the help

I see the dog has already suggested setting white balance on the background. Just sync that accross images. That works fine for these images and causes the appearance to be consistent.
