I think I asked about this once before, but I'm not sure if my post made it to the list. I just ran into the problem again, so I'll ask again, and see if the list has any wisdom.
I just shot a series of 5-6 shots, in raw mode, on my DS2, out my kitchen window, of items in my backyard in sunlight, shade, and mixed sun/shade. White balance on the camera is set to daylight. When I import the raw files into Adobe Camera Raw, and set the camera raw white balance setting to "as shot", the color temperature and tint values are different on every one of the shots. Is this correct behavior? Why wouldn't it be the same for a de-facto "daylight" shot? I assume Camera Raw is getting the white balance values from something in the EXIF data on each raw file. If so, why is the camera setting that differently for every shot? Does anyone have some better "defaults" for daylight/cloudy/shade white balance than the ones in Adobe Camera Raw? They seem to look a bit too red/yellow to my eye, and I usually have to add some tint to get them to look right. It doesn't seem to be very consistent though. thanks folks, -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
