Hi guys and gals,

I've made another scene file that is designed for dark scenarios. It does not use the stretch and definately induces a brighter picture in dark scenrios (streetlight or dark low lit interiors). For your convenience I've placed Stretch 1 and Stretch 2 on the user buttons along with Compress 2 (just in case you don't want any detail in the blacks.

The actual scene file is here ----> Click to download (http://home.comcast.net/~stephenlnoe/DARK_INT.SCN)

The settings are here ---->Click here for GIF (http://home.comcast.net/~stephenlnoe/DARKINT.gif)

***MAKE SURE TO WHITEBALANCE YOUR CAMERA AFTER LOADING ANY SCENE FILE***

all the best and keep shooting!

Thank you Stephen! Very much appreciated.

Do you have a collection of scene files with label on a site yet? I still think this should be done, if not here then someplace.

Stephen how do you download the scen file, I am using a mac

I think you just click on it and it will show up on your desktop. Then you need to place it on your SD card. Had you seen the tutorial I put together on how to place the scene file on the SD card? You'll need an SD card reader to do that method. Or you could just look a the supplied GIF and dial the settings into your camera and save them as a scene file.

Do you know how it compares to Paolo Ciccone's True Color V3 calibration? Should I use this for dark scenes at night (int and ext) or Paolo's calibration?

Thanks

There really is no comparison between the two scene files. Take a look at the color matrix settings and that will become evident. The idea behind "Dark Int" is to pull the shadows up enough to get some detail under a 60W incandecent. The tradeoff is grain in the image when you go into gain +3 or +6. The tradeoff is worth the extra detail in the picture.

I cant find the scene file recipe anywhere. Can you guys upload it again?

thanks Steven

great to hear from you on the forum, guys like you helped pioneer the way for the rest of us!
