Re: Apple Color vs Color Finesse

"Are you talking about CMYK numerical values you get in Photoshop? All the colorists I've seen do set up the Primary In room by eye using the RGB Scopes"


I simply want to see the RGB figures as I am setting highlights and shadows. I understand that we can read a lot from the scopes - but surely it is a fact that reading colours by eye can be deceptive at times and so thats why we have the numbers.

I want to calculate the settings for highlight and a shadow that is likely to remove a cast that may not be perceptable immidiately. surely Im not on my own in this??

Rarely would I accept an auto balance (except as you say to give ideas) as we always know how to read and calculate an image better than the computer through a process of selective sampling.

Can you explain why Color allows a selective marker (by clicking in the viewer window in scopes)to be placed in primary?

does this have any function in the primary window?

thanks for your thoughts in advance
