Hey Gavin, I use the Spyder 5 Pro. What real benefits does the Elite version of the software truly offer. BTW, excellent video. I learned everything you mentioned the hard way.. LOL Cheers mate!
Adobe Olympus color profiles are rubbish. I import photos into Olympus viewer first, develop the Raw there, export as 16bit tiff, and then import into LR, colors are then almost identical as what you'll see on the camera screen. I didn't think it was that much of a difference before I actually developed the same shot with LR and OV and put them side by side, difference is very noticeable imo.
So during a wedding, how would you recommend using something like the colorchecker or a gray card? Maybe take the photos during the ceremony and when its over go take a photo of your gray card where they were standing for reference? Then the same during the reception ..taking photos of the gray card in the different areas so you have a reference point later when editing? Just trying to get an idea of how to best use this. Thanks!
Which softbox is off to your right(camera left) beginning at about 7:22 ? looks like it has 12 sides (is not the 8 sided Rapidbox you actually shoot with during the vid)
great info Gavin but just 1 question, if I use a small grey card like the one on your light meter lanyard how do I keep the same white balance for r the rest of the pictures in the session, I can see how you do it for the 1st picture with the dropper but how do I apply this to the rest of my images?

I always look forward to my regular dose of .."Hello, I'm Gavin Hoeeeeeeeeey"

I guess this also applies to landscapes?
Looks really magenta to me.
Thanks Gavin…. big help. Thumbs up…
You just summed up my two week color management class in ten minutes.

Great video as always, is there anywhere in the UK to get that credit card sized grey card ?
Great simplified explaination!
Thanks for a great tutorial ( as usual ).
too good..Need a complete flash photography tutorial.
Everytime I see that there's a new lesson from Gavin is like Christmas to me.
Very nice Gavin. Lot of information there I hope to make some of my shots even better. Thanks
Thanks Gavin another fine job.
Very informative. I love your videos. I'd love to see more 15 minutes photo challenges. Keep up the good work!
