[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 177275, member: 12496"] I would argue "Not really", not in practice. Not so much about the camera, but we simply cannot always do our job right. When we set Incandescent WB, there are many colors of incandescent lamps (and the scene might even be mixed). Same for Fluorescent WB. Same for Daylight WB (open shade, covered shade, cloudy in degrees, sunset, etc). Same for Flash WB, flash color varies with power level. We might get it in the ballpark, but we cannot get it "right". You're in the big museum. Lots of large windows and daylight, also lots of overhead lights, of unknown type. What are you going to do? What I do is worry with it later in Raw, when I can actually see the result, to know what I'm doing, and have good tools to do it. It depends on how critical we want to be, some apparently don't see the difference, but "correct" results do always stand out. Like your example. It definitely seems a necessary skill set. [/QUOTE]
