Interesting story. I am sure that after a few go 'rounds with the pill pile,
you were ready to take a few your self? Being able to see the difference is
just the beginning though, as you still had to contend with the limits of
film, chemistry, paper, and inks through out the whole process. That
represents the science side of photography. Then there is the whole art side
of photography where we get to play with color or lack there of.

DEAR PETER,

            I was an advertising, fashion, and beauty photographer for 20
years in NYC and, believe me, those clients want the photo and printed page
to match the color of their fabrics, make-up or lipstick!  I was constantly
tweaking my filter pack and sending tests to the lab before some shoots.
Then I had the wrestling match with the pre-print houses and printers.
Everyone tried to blame the photographer so I had to have my feces together
and prove that my film matched as closely as possible the product color
(viewed with an over and under Macbeth light box).  

            So, sadly, there are actually jobs where this matters.  On a
humorous note, I took on a strange still life job?in 1976 I photographed
1776 pills for the Physician?s Desk Reference and, believe me, the doctors
who were the publishers impressed me with the liabilities involved with a
pill being the wrong color.  It was a bear of a job and we were tweaking
color with 2 ½ CC filters while praying that the lab was running the same in
the afternoon that it was in the morning when we did our tests.  Toss in the
fact that many of the dyes in the pills fluoresced so they photographed VERY
differently than they looked and we had a ball!

                        CHEERS!

                                    BOB

Woohoo, first time perfect score !

Perhaps I missed my calling as a colour consultant. Seriously though, how
many people make a living in a job which would need a (close to) perfect
level of Colour acuity ?

Based on your information, below is how your score compares to those of
others with similar demographic information.

*       Your score: 0
*       Gender: Male
*       Age range: 30-39
*       Best score for your gender and age range: 0
*       Highest score for your gender and age range: 1324

0 ( Perfect Color Acuity )


regards
Peter
