im going to be shooting in a parking garage with orange lights in there....which i hate...ill be using a flash to light the model, but after i bring the photos into PS or LR, i will play with the color temp to fix the orange cast, but then again this is ruin the color of the model...so whats the best way of going abouut this? combine the two images of the model in the right color temp and the right color temp for everything else? or is there an easier way/diff way of doing this

okay so i went out and got my 2 giant books of gels for free lol...

these are awesome...i got the LEE and ROSCO books...found the CTO and window green color...

so basically i would put the CTO gell in and use that to light the model, and have the camera WB set to tungsten...am i right with this?

nnice! i like playing with these swatches, its fun lol


i just looked up the local rosco dealers on their website around my area....i went to the nearest one, which was a light bulb store 5 min away from me....i asked if they had the swatches and the guy went and got them for me....there usually free from what i hear...if u buy them online your probably just paying for shipping....you should try it lol...worth a shot
