I started this job where I take photos of clothes for a brand's website, e-commerce stuff, white background.
I am having a really difficult time matching the colors of the clothes to the colors of real life.what I do is shoot raw, white balance mood is flash.and in Photoshop I play with color balance, saturation... until I get the color I want.it can take me about an hour to reach the right color for each piece and it can be really exhaustingbut I am pretty sure there is an easier way, or some tips to make it easier for me.
I edit on my MacBook Pro 2017 13-inch retina display, color LCD.
I don't use a gray card because I shoot raw so I believe I won't need it (correct me if I am wrong).
I try to pick a gray spot in the photo to adjust the white balance but it's not enough.
for lighting, I use two strobe lights from both sides, pointing down to the object.
