Canon 1dx Color

[dotun]

Hi everyone,

my name is Dotun and I'm new to the forum.

1dx owners, have you noticed the colors of your raw file look a little too cool and not consistent with color from other canon bodies? if you see the same what steps have you taken in Lightroom to bring its color to look closer to lets say the 5d mark 3 or 1ds. I currently own the 5d II, 5d III and 1dx.

couple you 1d with a sigma lens and you will counterbalance the bluiness of your new sensor

I'm assuming you mean the Auto WB. "Too cool" is subjective.  It's cooler than the 5DII, IMO - but that could be viewed as the 5DII being "too warm". 

Based on shots of an X-rite ColorChecker Passport, the 1D X AWB is more accurate than the 5DII - that seems more like 'the 5DII is too warm' instead of 'the 1D X is too cool.'

I notice when shooting in the sunny/daylight setting using ""L" series lenses that there is a lot of blue in the images captured. The blueness is significantly reduced when shooting with the cloudy setting in bright sunlight conditions. I have not turned up the saturation setting or reduced the contrast setting on my camera. Otherwise, as neuroanatomist says, when using ColorChecker Passport the colors are darn accurate.

I'm going to have to try that out. Thanks.

Ok I have colorchecker in studio which I always use. But I shoot weddings a lot and I just want to import my raw files and not have to worry much about the blueish cool feel of the 1dx. The 5d mark III no problem. I almost have to add some orange under HSL for it to come close. I shoot auto WB in RAW but as you know shooting auto WB don't matter if processing with LR. It's just a totally new look I cant get with much especially for skintones. A little background - I have used every 5D made, I've also used 1d III, 1ds II and 1dsIII and I know for sure the color of the 1dx is way cooler.

i was kidding of course (i like the warmer tones of sigma lenses btw)

Just tune the awb warmer in camera.

then adjust it in camera.

Ok, so I've tried all that in camera tweak on the WB and it's still not the same. The color especially skintones of the 1dx is still off. I know this is subjective but I know the Canon colors and the 1dx just not there. I've tried Aperture, lightroom, DPP.

I have noticed a slight colour change between the RAW file and Large JPG of the same image in camera.. Not sure why it would do it..
