Something I don't read others doing enough but makes a world of difference is to use a gray scale card (like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QXU8VI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) for each lighting condition. Just snap a picture of your product with this small card beside it and then take the same photo without this small card. In your favorite photo editing program adjust the whites, blacks and mid levels using the photo with the card and then apply the level settings to the photo without the card. It's so easy to do and takes the guess work out of having the right colors, brightness and contrast. I've gotten a number of 5 star reviews with the customer noting how the colors of my products match exactly to my product photos.
I don't have this set, but I do have a couple of [70 LED units with barndoors] (https://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-LED-Rechargeable-Barndoor-4001/dp/B0040FEWA0//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) that I put on light stands (as seen [here] (https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOHXQ-XTL7wRLEB2F3IJBlRsbjVeu--cobJUuF19Q-nrofp1RG1EntmUywmeXtUDA/photo/AF1QipNW2YO3e8SX9KRBmGqQr535w72JhuOugRICPuf1?key=X0FiM2FuWl94V1Z3UTFYaGVsb1hQZWtrdEVXOFhn)), or on top of my cameras (as seen [here] (https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOxON4x-wBk5IFnukI2wteBTQ888VUaEAWbPetD15RaGmVlegXdGEaDBZ27KWH_AQ/photo/AF1QipPP_UsTo21emhXwoOhoGnNoFWoBro9lvJvnoc2y?key=Zk5zdWtxOWU5ajk4aHJVdWFNYkJvVVpfb3NCZzVR)).
I don't really trust the color temperature of any LED panel that doesn't have a published CRI, so I use a [color calibration card] (https://www.amazon.com/CameraTrax-24ColorCard-2x3-White-Balance-Guidebook/dp/B004QXU8VI//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) to avoid color casts.
Again, hope this is helpful!
Thanks! Do you know why people seem against the Adobe Standard so much (based on a google search of Adobe Standard vs Camera Standard)?
I can't afford a Macbeth chart at the moment, Do cheap alternatives (such as [This] (http://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Photography-Colors-Colorchecker-Classic/dp/B00OZJ5OJ4/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1421547835&sr=1-12&keywords=color+calibration) or this or this) to the chart work also? How difficult is it to set up a custom profile with a chart like that?
