Lastly, try to have a sense of humor when people suggest shooting in black and white instead of color. It tends to strike a nerve in me when they do, but I try to have a good humor about it and experiment with it now and then. I still prefer color though...

Yeah I was reading a flickr group post yesterday on a colorblind person and Literally EVERYBODY was suggesting to go black and white. I don't mind black and white, but I prefer color just like you do.

- Proper white-balance. Your camera's auto white-balance (AWB) has a tendency to neutralize colours. Pick a white-balance setting that is suitable to the occasion - play with it and see what you like!
You can use all kinds of post-processing tricks, but a photographer of course should do as much as possible right in-camera.
If you post one or two photos (including EXIF information) we might give more detailed help. |
My exposure is fine (I don't have a problem with seeing things that are too bright/dark.) And i'm not too good at determining WB on-location, hence another reason why I use RAW. If I were to do on-location white balance, I would do a custom balance everytime with a white/grey card. It's what I'm used to doing at work with Video Cameras.

I've searched around google plenty of times looking for what other people that are color blind are doing, and I found a guide that shows how to use white and black points on the photo, to fix color. It did work, but to minimal results. I think it would help to know how a normal photographer would fix color, and then go from there.
Thanks for all your help guys!
