Hi

I have a potentially odd question. As part of my research I am looking at how the colour of certain minerals change after exposure to radiation. I would like to photograph these images before and after with a colour reference card in the back ground. The idea being if I match the colours of the reference card in the before and after photo then I would have a true measure of the color change. I feel this is something that Pixelmator Pro can likely do with LUTs but I haven't seen any tutorials on use of reference cards for colour matching. Any guidance to get me pointed in the right direct would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike! It sounds like the easiest way to achieve this would be using ML Match Colors. As for working with LUTs, you can find an in-depth tutorial on the subject here.
