Step Three:
If your color problems don't seem to be in
the shadows, then you'll use the Red, Green,
and Blue Primary sliders to adjust the Hue
and Saturation (the sliders that appear
below each color). Let's say your camera
produces photos that have a bit of a red
cast to them. You'd drag the Red Primary
Hue slider away from red, and if you
needed to reduce the overall saturation
of red in your photo, you'd drag the Red
Primary Saturation slider to the left until
the color looked neutral (by neutral,
I mean the grays should look really gray,
not reddish gray).
Step Four:
When you're happy with your changes,
press
Command-Shift-N (PC: Ctrl-
Shift-N)
to bring up the New Develop
Preset dialog. Name your preset, click
the Check None button, then turn on
only the Calibration checkbox, and click
Create. Now, not only can you apply this
preset in the Develop module and Quick
Develop panel, you can have it applied
to all the photos you import from that
camera by choosing it from the Develop
Settings pop-up menu in the Import
window (also shown here).
Note:
If you want to tackle the full camera
calibration process (which is not for wusses
by the way, as it's got quite a few steps and
hoops you have to jump through), go to
www.LightroomKillerTips.com
and in
the search field, enter “Camera Calibration”
and you'll find a link to Matt Kloskowski's
article (which he created for me as a
supplement to this topic), which covers
the entire process in detail.
