Re: colour shift under big lighting

[Herb Chong]

but the RAW converter has a white balance setting. i never take my camera 
off of Auto WB. if i see one that is off during conversion and know a bunch 
are the same, i set it and the rest of the group to the color temperature i 
want and convert. AWB doesn't choose discrete, well separated values. it 
chooses over a fairly finely spaced values on purpose.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have had nothing but problems with AWB,
even on supposedly superb cameras like D2H's matrix colour meter. It
drove me nuts in postpro, because of tiny variations in otherwise
almost identical frames (sometimes just 1% different framing). Now I
shoot with presets or kelvin values (if the camera supports it). I
though it was the autocontrast causing the problem with Bush, but same
problem happened with Putin later in the evening, where I had
autocontrast turned off - perhaps the chameleons theory is right ;-)
