On question: I was reading an FStoppers article on "When Photographers Stop
Seeing" and noticed this comment...
"It is also important to note that cameras across all brands have imperfect color
interpretation and rendition. Cameras often mistake certain hues for chromatically
neighboring shades. As a landscape photographer, personally my biggest frustration is
when the sensor perceives the blue sky as purple due to the bright warm cast of the sun
during the golden hour."
I was wondering if you are seeing this in your image here? or do you think it
is pretty accurate? Looking at the background.
I'm going to say that the Olympus EM-5 and the E-3 are probably about
the most "accurate" in color here in Alaska when using "Adobe Color"
in Lightroom. The AWB of the EM-5 is actually the best of ALL of my
cameras. Hands down, it's the best.
I absolutely don't understand AWB. I can come up with sensible reasons for camera makers to include it. I can't find any
reason why one would use it.
Except sometimes when indoors, under incandescent light, when I remember, and set Tungsten, everything I shoot is on
Daylight.
Do I then adjust in Raw conversion in LR/ACR? Absolutely! I even, gasp, choose
settings between the standard ones.
If I think color will be important, as for example, art in a museum, I pull the WhiBal card out of my wallet and take a
shot under their lighting, which gives me a reference. Different section, different lighting, another sample shot.
Correct the sample image as part of a PS Action, and I have one click correction for all those shots.
As a last resort, if I'm having trouble with WB, I'll try the "Auto" choice in LR/ACR or PS. Once in a while, it does
magic, but mostly not.
Side note about Lightroom. The AWB in Lightroom with Sony and Panasonic files
is terrible. VERY VERY terrible.
BTW, Auto WB in ACR/LR and in PS (Image=>Auto Color) give quite different
results.
