[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 468941, member: 15302"] If shooting RAW, you don't have to set white balance before shooting, you can do it in post using the pure white square in the lower left of the Passport to set WB in Camera Raw or LR, and you can apply that WB change to all the pics in that session. Yes, shoot the color squares whenever your light changes. Then in post, use that shot to create your custom profile for that session. Then apply that custom profile to all of the pics from that shoot. Let us know how it works for you, I have only done some tests but not really used it for a serious shooting session. One observation: this will change the colors in your shot to what they "actually" are, but sometimes you might want to keep the changes in the subject's color that your actual lighting conditions created. For example, a white house might glow orange when lit by a sunset, and you might want to keep that warm glow. Using the color checker would change the house back to white. ETA: I watched the tutorial that Paul posted, and the tutorial explained how to use the Passport to adjust warmth and coolness. I don't have the Passport yet, but I have the same software and the Color Checker Classic. [/QUOTE]
