Nevermind, I have done a bit of googling and figured out your cryptic code. He's telling you to add a bunch of Kelvins to the cloudy setting, and I don't know if you can do this with the istD. That's a bit of a pity, but I'm sure you can futz around with your custom WB settings and get a similar result. -- skye
