Saturation . . . especially greens

Posted May 9th, 2008 by Daryl

I'm shooting jpg xfine on the A700. Indoors, under strobes, color is fabulous. Expose properly and the color rendition is breathtaking.

But I'm getting some strange stuff outdoors, particularly green areas under soft, cloudy light. Greens seem over saturated.

I do minimal post processing, using Elements 4. (I have this itch for CS, but am not fully driving Elements, for Pete's sake *grin*) Most frames are simply put through levels, the left and right side of the histogram boxed and midrange moved just a tad to the right to boost contrast. Doing that is getting me technicolor greens.

Any suggestions, either on camera settings or post?

Thanks,

d
