How to correct your yellow-washed HPS pictures

JSB99 · Mar 21, 2018

I wanted to share this with everyone. When taking pictures of your plants under an HPS light, the pictures are washed out from the kelvin-specific peaks of the lamp.

This picture was taken with my cell, with the HPS on, but you'll notice that the colors look pretty natural. I use Photoshop Express to edit, and the built-in auto-correct fixes it perfectly! And, it's free to use!

I think I posted this recently to another thread like this but since you are bringing it up.

Here is a pic with hps on my iPhone.

And here is one with the flash turned on.

I've used my flash to fill in the colors as well. My tablet doesnt have a flash, so I got into the habit of going the color correction route.

Just showing another way. I’m sure some use growroom glasses in front of the lenses too.

I appreciate you making a point of this. :-)
