Conclusion: - NO RED ROSES IN THE PENTAXIANS GARDENS!

It seems, there are many guys in this forum like me. I tried several times taking red roses in my garden and even at flower shows too, but always I failed.
Means, I couldn't capture the texture and color together exactly as I see. But, my sony PS gave me some very close results..

The only way I can get the correct reds are with this, Xrite passport

Original

Corrected with xrite (reds are dead on)

hope this helps

Slip, that is some difference the color passport makes! I was goofing around with a red rose myself just the other day, and that's exactly the color problem I was having. Just like everyone else it seems.

Regards,
