Take 1 shot for every camera white balance setting Open it in camera raw Save from every shot the preferences (select only white balance)
If you have saved every white balance setting in camera raw it's as simple as selecting a preference If you want to set it manually the pentax settings are (from my istD): daylight 4450 -18 shade 5350 -6 cloudy 5000 -17 fluorescent daylight 5350 +22 fluorescent neutral 4400 +9 fluorescent white 3850 +15 tungsten 3050 +18 flash 5350 -5 I learned this from the list (forgot who I should give credits) On 9/30/06, Mat Maessen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
