[QUOTE="T-Man, post: 476103, member: 22038"] So...setting WB in-camera is mutually exclusive to editing same in post? It's either one or the other; you can't do both? Why wouldn't I want WB closer to what I perceive as reality upon import, especially if I'm importing a long series of photos shot in the same environment. That fact doesn't preclude me from further tweaking WB in post. Where did I say I never tweak WB in post at all, ever? All I said is I've found the ED works better than the other in camera WB methods, and I prefer to get it as close as possible in-camera so editing is easier, especially with regards to skin tones. Those temp and tint sliders and the WB eyedropper tool still work the same regardless of the "as shot" WB color cast. And again, I am "work(ing) with it in Raw," so your statement makes no sense. At worst, even if I'm relatively unconcerned with in-camera WB, at least the ED gives me better consistency along a series of shots, which is a time saver if for no other reason than to make more effective use of the "sync" function in LR after getting the first image in a series adjusted to my liking. I'm no worse off by setting a custom WB in-camera with my cool little disk even if it's just because I'm dazzled by shiny objects. [/QUOTE]
