Eric,  I dont like the use of % for warmth as it is an objective measure for that image.  The middle image is the most 'real' for me but that is just my personal assessment.  The bottom image looks too magenta and the top/first image too warm/yellow.

These are my impressions of the view on my ipad but I did the comparison on my calibrated screen on my MacPro desktop and in Photoshop 2025 (latest version through Adobe subscription).

You are absolutely right Jonathan, I was merely using the displayed Affinity slider % reference for simplicity.

The last one, which I agree is too magenta, was done to give an “ott limit”.
I also forgot to point out the change in the blue curve, that demonstrates the cooling down more clearly.:doh:


I still wonder if the modelling lights contributed this extra warmth?

When I was photographing footwear for catalogues I found leaving my modelling lights on always shifted the colour, especially white shoes. It wasn’t as obvious on large subjects, but with the lights in close it increased their contribution.

It will be interesting to hear Grahams opinion.
