ABSTRACT
To operate a digital color meter, set the film type (daylight or tungsten), position the meter near the principal subject and point it at the camera and/or main light source, and read the temperature and filtration recommendations in the meter’s display window. Its suggested filtration should work with negative film, though transparency film may require test exposures for accurate results, due to fluctuations or differences between the same film emulsion (type) or processing (see Testing for a Critical Neutral Color Match section later in this chapter).
