Dragon Colour 2 Off In Magenta Cast

[Hans von Sonntag]

Hi,

Interesting find: friends of us were shooting an event where magenta coloured lights were used for CI reasons. Dragon Colour 1 pictured the magenta cast as expected, Dragon Colour 2 failed obviously.

Attached you'll find the pictures and a download link for the R3D in question.

Sometimes colors are oversaturated with Dragoncolor2. You can desaturate them in post or use dragoncolor1 for shots like these.

Yup,

looks is like you hit the magenta threshold for dragoncolor2.

Yes, you found some super-saturated colours that hit the edge of the colour gamut. Unfortunately with the increase in monochromatic light sources (like coloured LEDs) this is going to be happening more often. In the meantime please use the original DragonColor and if you wouldn't mind sending me the R3D for my R&D that'd really help.

I'm not much bothered, Dragon Colour 1 is doing a marvellous job. Use it all the time.

Please use this link to down load the original R3D (see post #1): http://we.tl/rb3EEy1r4z

No. This problem is not resolved by just de-saturating the magenta parts with secondaries. The wrong gamma response will stay. Using Dragon Colour 1 does the trick much better.

Your major problem is wrong balance.

Move tint, kelvin slider and slightly desaturate image.

Btw I wasn't speaking about "de-saturating the magenta parts with secondaries".

Thanks! That's a great help for me. (sorry - I didn't see the R3D link on the initial post so sorry for asking for what was already there).
