I just finished processing and printing a friends wedding proofs. I had a heck of a time because of too much red in the shadow areas. Some of the images were 1 fstop over and some were 1 fstop under and some were right on. Some images were outside with flash fill and some were inside with flash being primary lighting. They all had too much red in the shadows. I used 2 Canon 10Ds with 28-105 3.5 lens and Sunpak 611 strobes. The images were raw mode. I used Srgb workspace in the camera and in Adobe Elements 3.
I used Adobe Elements 3 to process, Adobe Gamma to calibrate the monitor and an Epson 1200 to print out 4 x 6 proofs. In the Elements 3 initial raw mode window before any modifications to the raw image i would get a reading in a shadow area like green=40, blue=45 and red=55. As soon as I increased the saturation or contrast it would then be like green 45, blue=55 and red=90. The red would increase way out of proportion to the blue and green values. I noticed the same thing happens in Elements 3 edit mode if I increase contrast or saturation. IS THIS NORMAL. WHAT DID I DO.
