Question

Make a number of photos match on colour balance and sharpness

Hi,

CS6,

I saw a trick in youtube for Davinci Resolve video editor whereby selecting  a still image (which had a wanted colour balance and exposure) and a slightly desaturated and different colour balance video clip and then an option from a drop down menu, made the video clip match the photo.

If I have taken a photo in existing light (ceiling lights supposedly daylight but the photo tells otherwise !)  in a hall, then also photographed the same object using bounced flash whilst there, I can never manage to get the existing light photo to match the colours of the object, .

Has Photoshop the same option of indicating a target photo and see it adjust another to match ?

 

I am CS6 so hope such exists in that version.

 

Cheers

Hi,

 I have just given that a go, I wasn't aware of it, selecting source (bounce flash pic) and target existing light, result is better but two tests sees a slight yellowyness still to greys etc, and the image in general, so either its impossible else ?

Both taken same viewpoint with tripod, one is flash bounced off a white surface, the other existing light in the room.

I have others with Q13 cards so more experimenting, if I could use a pipette thing and pick areas to be source and target, that might do it.

Such a task is fundamental for me, and I had hoped Pshop did so.
