Color Balancing Advanced Imaging Conference Ron Wodaski M51 Color: Truth or Fiction? • Color is based on the spectrum • The spectrum is nearly continuous – there are millions of colors out there • We use three color filters • It is impossible to accurately represent colors with just three filters • But… The Eye as Detector • The eye uses three sensors for color: – One for red – One for green – One for blue • Eyes – three colors. CCD imaging – three colors. Is this enough to get True Color? • The eye is just as limited as a CCD detector when it comes to color accuracy. There is often more color available than you expect… Cocoon Nebula The Truth about Color • The color you record with a CCD camera is only an approximation of True Color. • The color you see with your eyes doesn’t necessarily match the color that another person sees. • The color your monitor displays is random unless you use a tool to calibrate it to achieve accurate color. • Ultimately, color is in the eye of the beholder. The Dimensions of Color • Color bias • Color balance • Color noise • Color intensity (saturation) Color Bias • Color bias exists when one or more colors flood the background. • The cause of color bias is unequal black points in the color channels. Example of Color Bias • Bias affects entire image, very visible in background. • Like a false bottom in a container • Image at right: – Way too much green – Too much blue Color Bias: Histogram Reveals All • Multiple peaks in combined histogram •
