This means that skin tones drift and look unnatural, backgrounds shift and appear inconsistent – and continuity becomes impossible to maintain. But, by using the LightColor Meter, you are no longer guessing. Eliminate the guesswork What makes the LightColor Meter stand out is its ability to measure both exposure
