White Background
I have been trying to photograph some items for my company brocure and bought a "light cube" to give me a white background, but background comes out yellow, never white?
I have tried using extra lighting to saturate teh cube, but it makes no difference, also tried over exposing, using a zoom lens etc. Using a Dimage Z2 digital camera, flash position is an issue on close up, but even from a distance I cant make item being photographed look like it does in professional mags etc?

White Background
Hi,
I have encountered this with a Fuji S2. The flash setting seems to be slightly warm. You can correct the white balance with appropriate software-even the free Picasa from Google. It has several ways of sorting out these problems. Gerald "Chris.black" wrote in message ...

KevinG Is the light a tungsten bulb? If so tungsten light is actually orange/yellow. If you were shooting with film you could get a tungsten balanced film, but im afraid i dont really know anything about digital, but you should be able to go on to your settings and change the white balance. -- Chris.black |
