Colour management and clinical photography

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

It probably isn’t very important for the sort of clinical photography GPs do, and perhaps not particularly for Dermatologists and plastic surgeons, but neither is it difficult to provide a colour index with a photograph. The QP201 card or any other sort of colour standard card either included in the photo, or carefully photographed under the same conditions would do it. Going the whole way and calibrating printers and screens is probably not going to happen anytime soon. Dental photography may be a bit more demanding of white balance and white points in some cases I suspect.

Take or make a photograph?

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

The phrase “take a picture” is probably one of those that should be consigned to history.

It echoes the meme that one removes something from the subject, the soul or whatever, and ignores the fact, even pre-digital, that an essence of photography is that as many copies of an image as desired may be made.

It also minimises the role of the photographer both in composition and in post-processing and production – “printing”.

I prefer that we should make a picture of whatever strikes our fancy, so as to concentrate our, and in due course others’ minds.
