    Hi everyone !

    I have a question, I didn't find any satisfying answer on the web yet. Maybe you'll have one.

    I shoot wedding always with a second photographer. The problem is : I have a canon 5dM4 and she has a Nikon D4.
    Every time the post-prod is longer than usual, because we try to get all pictures the same look (and, you know, canon is more orange, and Nikon more magenta)

    Is there anyway I can calibrate both camera on shoot ? Or easiest way on post prod ?
    I tried using a color checker passeport - didn't work : Canon still orange, Nikon still Magenta
    I tried to create a preset, but it doesn't really work either.

    We could have the same camera, yes, but neither one of us want to switch. So this is off the table.

    Maybe there's no other way to match camera color, but I'll ask, just in case :)

    Thank you very much for your answers !

    I dont think it is a simple way to syncronise.
    I have my both camera the same and the color change betwen the lenses. Hard work on post product

    There's a trick to 'white balance' the skin tones, maybe getting both cameras to the same skin tones could work.

    Correct me if I am wrong...

    If you calibrated with an R-Rite then used the profile from one on the other you'd get similar results

    There is more detail than what I have provided however with some editing skill in post you should be able to match the colours

    There's another one I just remembered, in dxo photolab there's and option to develop raws like other camera bodies, that could work.
