I agree with Rene....the corrected versions of the two photos look much more natural to me.

BTW, which patch are you clicking on with the White Balance tool. There are three neutral patch on the ColorChecker Passport; all of which should give you approx 206-206-206 reading.

I have been clicking on the correct patch.


CANON 5D MKII / Canon 40D / 17-40mm F4L / 24-70mm F2.8L / 24-105mm F4L / 70-200 F2.8L IS / 50mm f1.2L USM / 580exII / 430ex II / Adobe LR4 / Adobe PS6.

"Yes, Used the 18% Grey card to calculate correct exposure."

The Grey Card on the third tab of the ColorChecker Passport is for setting in-camera white balance; its purpose is not for calculating exposure.

Sorry, I used a middle Grey Card for exposure. Written in error :o

I would use the white patch with clipping turned on. It's using the highlights to set maximum EV for max data capture when shoot RAW ;)
