Maybe this is a good idea, maybe not.
I take pictures of different objects on the same background, with the same light source and intensity all the time. I use Gimp to edit those pictures. The camera will vary exposure, aperture, ISO, etc... depending on the object which will change the apparent color of the background.
If I know the actual color of the background (say 90.7, 85.8, 85.8 in a RBG format) how would I apply a filter to color correct the entire image based on the change needed between the current background color and the known background value?
I am looking to try and get the most consistent/accurate colors for the objects. If this is not a good option, please let me know if you think there is a better way to do this. Bear in mind that I am really trying to make up for the camera and getting a better/different camera is not a viabile option at this time.
