1D meter out of Whack?????

->> HI, I and a fellow photographer have been experiencing some inconsistency with exposure. Well not really the exposure but how the image looks after imported through Photo Mechanic into Photoshop from 2 different camera's and computers.
Let me explain. If I take a photo with the sun behind me (front lit subject) and expose , according to the meter, a perfect exposure . Now when I view the thumbnails in Photo Mechanic they look fine though when I pull them into Photoshop they are a good stop of more under. The mid-tones are dark and noisy when the rest of the frame is PERFECT!. If I have to expose for midtones I'm losing the valuable highlights of the image. The image is still workable by the photo technicians but it seems to be happening too often and is creating more work for a already busy image desk staff.
So my question is this, does this sound like a metering issue even though both my exposure and histogram look fine, or does this sound like a color management issue and how it photoshop and my computer import the photo.
I'll gladly accept your input on this matter.
Cheers.
Mike
P>S> I also checked my exposure to a light meter and both are within a 1/3 stop +/- of each other, nothing major like I'm seeing. |

->> Michael,
I had a similar problem using Iview.
Turns out in my preferences in Photoshop, the Gamma was set to a different gamma than Iview...Can't remember what it was on, but check and see if it is at 2 or 2.2 or whatever...
That could solve the problem.
I was upping the curves on every image I imported til I found that.

->> Well
It turns out that my issue is camera related. Today while on a campaign trail for a highly contested senate seat here in New Jersey the camera DIED>> NO Auto Focus., 00's in the aperture window, among some other things. Off to Canon it goes. |
