I am trying a home undertone check and need a sensible photo routine. Automatic white balance seems to turn each room into a different colour story. I plan to use indirect daylight near one window rather than direct sun. I am planning plain camera settings with no flash and no enhancement modes. Including plain white and soft grey fabric may help me compare the frames later. My goal is to retake the same photos on a second day for comparison. A simple skin undertone test camera might make it easier to repeat the same conditions next time. There are obvious limits to comparing colour through a camera and screen. I plan to keep dated notes so a later impression does not rewrite the earlier one. How do you keep your phone from changing the comparison halfway through? Low-cost methods would be ideal because I am only learning the basics. I plan to save the unedited images so later comparisons remain honest. I would appreciate lessons learned from a real home setup.
