Dealing with Color Shift in LED Lighting for Indoor Cosplay Shoots
Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2025 2:38 am
Hello
I am facing frustrating color shifts when shooting cosplay indoors under LED lighting especially when using colored accent lights / cheap RGB panels.
Whites often skew blue or magenta & skin tones get distorted even after using custom white balance or gels. I’ve tried correcting it in Lightroom, but the fixes are inconsistent across frames.
I wonder if others here have faced similar problems with color consistency under LEDs. Are there specific LED brands or panel types you trust for cosplay photography? Or perhaps certain white balance settings (like using a gray card vs. preset modes) that yield better results for these shoots? I am also curious how others are handling this in post manually / with LUTs? 
Checked https://acparadise.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=41 guide which is very helpful.
On a side note; I have started experimenting with large-scale image data for batch correction, which led me to ask what is Azure Databricks and could it potentially be used to automate batch edits or color correction workflows at scale?
Thank you !!
