It's not always viable to use any preset WB (measured or otherwise) if the conditions are changing. Depends on how changable you're talking. Usually my shooting is in a few series of shots, all with the same WB. So you might have to correct groups of images but they wouldn't be all over the place as you might get with AWB. I admit that my 10D's AWB works well, but I really prefer keeping it on Daylight WB. One less thing to worry about, and Capture One makes it easy if I do need to adjust. I used to change the camera to Tungsten indoors, Cloudy when it was cloudy, etc. But then I found out I didn't need to so I don't. Anything that doesn't reduce quality, but makes taking photos easier and with less technical thought is a good thing to me. And that's why I love digital (Bob), because it frees me up. I only think about a few things to do with the camera to setup. I basically turn it on and start shooting. I keep my camera ready for birds at all times, servo focus, multi frame, ISO 800, etc :-) > Changing the WB from Auto-WB to any preset in RAW mode is just as easy regardless of whatever the camera chose anyway. If all the images were shot in a specific light, I could just make adjustments to one image (in this case, among other things, set the specific colour temperature) and then apply the same adjustments to all the images I chose to with Nikon Capture. > Guess you haven't tried the standard Canon software :-) -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography: http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits: http://www.easternbeaver.com/
