This statement, as it stands is not correct.With film, the film is made for one color temp (5500K) and if you shoot under light that is not that color temp, the colors in the photo will be off.
That is correct. More precisely, negative film can be corrected as long as it's not close to underexposure: under, say a 2700K illuminant, blue light is so scarce that the blue part of the image would hit the toe of the curve and could not be corrected. Bottom line: in case of low-Tc ("red") ambient light, with negative film, give generous exposure. And, use one frame to picture a photographic gray card, that will help you in post-processing to establish objectively the color balance without guesswork. Much cheaper than a colorimeter and more effective.This is for slide film mainly, since color neg film can be color corrected in the printing process.
This is for slide film mainly, since color neg film can be color corrected in the printing process. So, for slide film, the color meter is useful, for digital or color neg, its not important.
Bill - I'm a bit amazed just how thoughtfully developed the MacBeath chart has been.
I don't trust many grey cards to be accurate,...
