So... there I am with everything colour managed. I take a photo of something 3D and real - pretty very good.
However, I still have a problem with exposure. I want to take faithful photos of my wife's paintings. I can take them so they are bright and luminous, or I can take them so that they are shadowed and dark. I obviously want something in between but am not happy as to what is RIGHT.
She exclaims 'oh, you've made it look even better than my picture!!' but that is clearly not right. If I drop the exposure, then it does look too, too... something.
I cannot be the first to come to grips with this, so would welcome any suggestions. I do have some ideas, but would rather hold back so as to invite originality.
Thanks for reading this far....
