What color is this dress?

And it’s interesting, because when I color correct photos, I need to give myself a break every twenty minutes or so, otherwise my sense of color starts shifting. What I mean is once I set a white balance, it can start drifting over time. So I’ll do a big batch of photos and color correct everything neutral, and then push some photos a little bit to the “warm” side, and then I’ll want to warm up a couple other batches of photos, but my internal white balance has been set to these already warm photos, so the next batch ends up warmer, and it keeps going and going. I wake up next morning and see the color drift over time and scratch my head thinking “how in the hell did this look right last night?”

So now I take breaks.

I think even the small thumbnail of the side by side in the first story completely ruined it for me. I can clearly see the tone shift and it totally locked in the original as being blue shifted.
