[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 65270, member: 3903"] OK now, no fighting on the forum. We seem to have confusion on this. I'll try to make sense out of these truths. First, Nikon Photographer's Kelvin scale is right. Lower numbers produce warmer light than higher numbers. Where it gets confusing is how we apply these numbers to our photography. When you slide the color temp slider to a higher number, your image will get warmer (more red). This is simply because you are adjusting the picture to a colder light. You are telling your (camera, digital file) that the conditions of the light when you took the picture were colder so that your picture will look normal. The software then makes the picture to look warmer. Now I'm getting confused myself. It's harder to explain than I thought… :) When you raise the K number on the camera or software, you are telling the camera that the light is very cold (blue), this makes the camera produce a warmer tone to compensate for the cold light.
