A question about white interiors?

[innerdream]

I always have some color that is not white white as I use lights set to RGB values that relate to real world lighting. Is it possible to get white white interiors in post production or adjust the white color? I'm a bit confused when it comes to this.

Yes it is possible to create all sorts of colour variations for whole or parts of images in post, including 'whitening out' images.

Thanks. Any tutorials for Photoshop on this that you know of?

ctrl+u should get you started... you can desaturate and control the hues.. you can select the walls by colors or by masking them.

 

If you need some help... send me a pm with a picture of the rendering

Thanks for the info I'll check it out. Isn't there a simple way to set white balance across the entire image?

Robert,

I think you are best addressing the root problem in the render engine. Color correction is pretty simple in post, but in the long run its prob best to get a workflow going that enables just some levels balancing in post rather than color adjustments.

Thanks, that is what I suspected.

You might want to ask someone who actually has work! LOL:p

in mental ray photographic exposure you set your whitebalance. works the same way you'd do it using a real camera. this is a far better method than changing the whitebalance in post.

I've been using Modo and I just set the walls or whatever to 100% white and then set my lighting to RGB values that match real world lights and sun. I get mixed results.

there's no such thing as pure white in the real world, not really.

 

set your whites to around .85 or .9 tops. and use whitebalance controls.

I don't think Modo has any white balance controls, unless I don't understand what that is?

you'll need to do it in post then. using either photoshop or lightroom. best to render to 16-bit float so you can do this more precisely.

 

a quick and cheap solution (not advised) is to use photo filter to push your colours cooler/warmer until something that is in direct light and is white looks white, and everything else falls off with appropriate colours.

Okay, thanks.
