I just tried Rosco CTO Cinigel 3/4 for the first time while doing a residential shoot. I put the gel on my two flashes and put my 5D on 3200K. The lighting in the house was tungsten with some daylight of a cloudy day coming in.
Shooting in the basement, I only had my flashes against tungsten light.
Funny thing was that on the camera monitor the images looked perfect. After importing into Lightroom/CDPP they are all pinkish/purplish and very hard to fix. This applies to both, shots with some cloudy daylight and shots done in the basement where there's no daylight
1. Should I have used 1/2 or perhaps full CTO.
2. Should I switch to Lee CTO? (I remember someone saying Rosco's are on a red side
3 If none of the above, what mistake am I making here?
I 'm thinking maybe it depends on the ratio of tungsten to flash?
I was shooting at: 1/40, f8, ISO 500. Both flashes were shooting in the white ceiling (one was 580EX II and the other SB 26) and were at 1/2, 1/4, sometimes the on-camera 580EX II was at full.
I could have overpowered the tungsten with other flashes that I got plenty of, but the agent wanted all the lighting fixtures of the house on and as much ambiance as possible.
Here're some examples
