  • Shall these studio light HDRis be color corrected or not?

    I asked a photographer friend to take HDRs of his equipment so I can use them for lighting inside of vray. Wide array of different lamps, some LEDs, some old-fashioned strobes etc. We want to put them on gumroad to sell them. At his age it is getting hard getting jobs and maybe he can make some coffee money.

    I am putting them together as EXRs right now and am wondering if I shall color correct them? Obviously every light and every LED has a different color and you can clearly see this in my test renderings. I for one think thats a nice realistic touch but am wondering if I shall try to bring them all to a matching white balance.
    What do you guys think?

    While we are on the topic:
    -How much do you think 20 of these are worth paying for? These have insane EV steps of up to 20 or so and a resolution between 3000 and 5000 pixels
    -Would you prefer to also have the uncropped versions without any alpha channel so you can use the light flares spilling out of the lamps? As you can see I am made alphas for each of them, but that means that there is no light coming out to the sides as is happening on the hdrs I got (attached a sample)
    -Any preference about exr compression? so many formats to choose from, I am overwhelmed.

    Thanks for any advice!

    This is the flare I am talking about.
    usually I would make an alpha around the lamp itself but the light is spilling out of it with a nice halo. keep as an option?
