Most accurate is to wet the white balance manually with a grey card. That was required when I was sooting virtual tours for real estate companies. Now I usually shoot AWB when I’m just playing around, but if there’s a neutral element in the scene I’ll set it with the eyedropper in conversion. (When shooting cars, most tires work well, since they’re actually a deep grey.) On Jun 27, 2014, at 11:27 PM, Ken Waller <kwal...@peoplepc.com> wrote:
