21CT55 Screen-Shot Test

[old_tv_nut]

All this fiddling with jpgs to get a visual match is nice if needed, but it's not needed because the pictures posted clearly illustrate the stated problem - some screen shots of the roundie come out blue and others do not.

Again, the only logical conclusion is it's a problem with the camera white balance changing. The way to fix it is to find a fixed white balance setting on the camera and use it. (Probably "Daylight" will work best, but any particular setting other than "Automatic" will at least stabilize the result.)

Tomcomm, I'm asking again - does your camera have white balance settings you can choose?

[old_tv_nut]

If you examine the various photos with a photo viewing program like Irfanview or Photoshop, you can read the RGB values. Compared to the direct file capture, your photos of the roundie are very blue, and the photos of the Sony are reddish. So, if these were taken with the same white balance setting, and they appeared the same to the eye, it is a problem with the camera seeing the different phosphors differently.

There are two ways to fix this:
1) set a different custom white balance on a full white screen on each set or
2) (easier) fix the white balance in a photo program

Edit: by the way, the back light shining on the left side of the full white beard is bluer than the front light shining on his sweater and face.

My present PhotoBucket charges $400 per year for hosting forums.
I'm trying to find a freeby. We'll see if Picturetrail works??
Top is 21ct55, bottom is Sony KU 27S27 of 1992. Try to call it up.

When Photo bucket went spamy I switched to Filckr. It's free and I can choose what size pic to display here.

Still checking out PhotoTrail.

The images are visible, but if by "call it up" you mean click through to view the original, it's not working.

Use imgbb and be done...

What is "Use mgbb and be done"? Is it free?

Imgbb is a free site. They have more options, and you can click on the thumbnail and get the full image size. I'm sorry if my response was short. The Photobucket issues have pissed a lot of us off. I lost about 500 some odd radio photos.

[Tomcomm]

I understand. I Google'd imgbb and got a bunch of Apple stuff that didn't make sense to me. I'm still running XP and I still get confused. So if you could be so kind as to send me a lead to some simple internet site, I would be so grateful.

Not a PB user, so don't know for sure...
But you actually completely lost the pics -- as in you cannot look at them/retrieve them privately? I thought the $400 ransom was to be able to link to them in 3rd-party sites like VK, not to just look at them/download them yourself. That would be bad, bad, bad.

Yes, they'd still be there unless he closed the account. And there are fixes to allow them to be seen in forums, getting around the PB limitation. So if they were left alone, and any of us added the PB embed fixes, we could see them in the forum the same way they were originally.

So for any of you that don't want to pay the Photobucket 3rd party hosting ransom, at least don't get upset and close your PB account. That only screws everyone else from viewing the images in the threads.
