illuminated by super-bright LEDs, but the photos do not accurately
reflect the colors of the lighting. The artist says that his camera
has trouble picking up the purple lighting, instead showing it washed
out, apparently because it is outside the normal color space of the
imaging sensor. Does that sound likely? What might a photographer do
to take better photos of these tricky lighting situations?


Here is yet another problem. *We frequently do not perceive with our
eyes the true color of LED or laser light sources if we view them
directly. *Some of the cones can saturate, really throwing off our
eyeball calibration.


I suppose I could adjust hue in Photoshop. I've just never been very
accurate with that thing.

Any other ideas?
