Cosmic, dude

I've been making color photographs for a few years now but it was only recently that I realized I haven't been correcting for cosmic background color. Damn! I knew something seemed off. Now I'll have to reprint everything, unless of course I can find another universe to move to with better light. For the time being fiat lux gets an asterisk.

Here's the universal color cast for anyone curious.


Rather boring actually. Not sure what the universe had in mind there. Believe me, the next good one that comes along I'm so outta here.

Camera Raw shipping with CS5 comes with the "Universal Cosmic Color Cast Balance" tool. Should resolve the need to destructively correct in Photoshop ;-)
