Also, I've never thought a lot about "colour balance" with film, but
perhaps that's because the lab has done the job for me? I wonder if
there are many labs that will accept "raw" files and do something
productive with them these days, by the way. Most of the "consumer" ones
I've come across seem to know of no other file format than JPEG, if you
know what I mean...
Slide shooters think about colour balance
Ah, yes, I knew that, really. I haven't shot much slide myself... But is
it fair to say that negative film is actually "better" in this respect?
and believe me it's a lot more work
adjusting for colour balance before the shot than after in a digital work-flow.
Labs that accept RAW files won't become commonplace until a RAW file standard
such as DNG is adopted.
Yes. That's sort of my theory, too. In the mean time, it seems to me
that you have to pay a bit for the advantage of being able to do more of
the work yourself, because that will in a way also be the only option...
