i know this has been beat to death.
I have been reading the forums for Over 6 months now, and still not sure of the latest fix.

i am doing a commercial shoot tommrow, all daylight, outside, in color, and using the M8 with VC 12mm without IR filter....
could not get the IR filter atachment in time...

the talent will be wearing BLACK (m8agenta) sneakers....
it is for a sneaker ad. HA (i am a sadist)

i will be shooting several pictures to hand over to client, i can say close to over 100.
i am super proficent in Photoshop, and use Lightroom now for all my digital file managment.

can some one please just clue me in on the best cure for this mess i know i will have to deal with.

thank you gang...
 
Select Color select= put the dropper on the shoes if they are magenta- desaturate.

You may need to incrase contrast in the selected area
 
Davichan,

Try this thread on the Leica User Group webpage - http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/digital-forum/9178-magenta-work-around-capture-one-workflow.html - try to look at the whole thread as I think towards the end (most recent posts) there is a link to a custom colour profile you can download and use within Capture 1, that does a pretty good job of 'correcting' the magenta issue at the conversion from DNG file into Tiff file stage. Hope this helps - good luck.

Cheers
Dave
