Lighting in my living room is incandescent bulbs directly above and to the left of the subject, combined with some filtered light coming through a window further to the left.All 3 images were shot in RAW, straight out of my D800 w/ Voigtlander Nokton 58mm lens @ f/2, ISO 400, 1/15 shutter, on a tripod. NO post-processing adjustments were done whatsoever except cropping, since the lens was unable to focus close enough for the egg to fill the frame. Images were simply imported into Lightroom, cropped, then exported, again with no other adjustments done whatsoever.The first image is using AWB. As you can see it is very obviously warmer than the other 2 images, and less natural. The egg has a yellowish tint.[ATTACH]170349[/ATTACH]The second image is with custom WB calibrated using an 18% gray card. It is certainly more "correct," but the couch cushion is a little cooler in the image than in reality...[ATTACH]170350[/ATTACH]The third image is with custom WB set using the Expodisk. Whew...I had to sit down and rest for awhile after enduring that grueling setup procedure! You'll just have to trust me when I say the couch cushion color is more correct in this photo than in photo #2.[ATTACH]170351[/ATTACH]Wait a minute... these 3 images have obvious WB differences! But...how can that be, since WB data isn't carried into Adobe software products with a RAW file! Wayne F told us so, and he knows better than those of us who actually use the product being discussed!</blockquote>
