Which problem would you say the vector scope solves in the editing in general? In these examples, following the initial Exposure leveling, you use the Color calibration module as the primary normalization of the temperature in the image. The vector scope mirrors the changes and shows the new graphical distribution. Now, satisfied with the temperature, it seems to me that you proceed with the usual business of adjusting colors in the Color balance RGB module. But.. "Keep an eye on the vector scope," you say. Well, the vector scope doesn't speak to me - Sometimes it looks more pleasant than other times ;O) - but my major perception of the image is through the lights and colors distribution due to the initial work flow. At that point a more subtle color adjustments on the top would be welcome. If only I could train myself to read the scope more intelligently. I need a method (algorithm, so far unknown to me) that allows me to go in the opposite direction - i.e. The vector scope looks in this way, therefore - due to a certain rule - I must change the distribution of colors in the image in this and this way, which will make it look even better that I would be able to visualize up front - and at the same time making my usual time consuming trial and error process obsolete.
Hi Eigil, I am not sure if there is such a way. At least as far as I can tell. The vectorscope is there as a guide. It can help you choose a colour balance and color grade your image (or copy the colour grading of another photo) but only as a visual guide. Again, that is all in my personal understanding, so take it with a grain of salt. If you find what you are looking for, then please share it. I would be happy to expand my horizons as well :)
