I have a lot of photos done with color artificial light like red/blue/green (neon light/color flash. NLP try always to make the results “natural” looking - what is not my aim. is there any way to keep the colours?

### When posting about Image Conversion Issues, please include the following information:

1. Which version of Negative Lab Pro are you using?

2. If using DSLR scanning, please include: 1) camera make/model, 2) lens make/model, 3) light source make/model

3. If using film scanner, please include: 1) scanner make/model, 2) software used for scanning, 3) settings used for scanning

4. Please add the conversion you are having difficulty with, along with a short description of what you are seeing wrong with it.

5. It’s not required, but it’s very helpful if you can provide a link to the original RAW or TIFF negative before conversion. If you don’t want to share this file publicly, you can also email it to me at [nate@natephotographic.com](mailto:nate@natephotographic.com)

Hi K,  
you may want to set white balance to ‘NONE’.  
I have had issues with images throwing NLP off in the past and what I would do in those cases is add another shot, preferably same roll, with very natural light(daytime outdoor scene, correctly exposed) and then doing a batch conversion of the two images together.  
I am not sure whether it was also neccessary to sync the scene.
