I've only now aquired my first DSLR, so I'm fairly new to this. But does every digital camera tag the RAW file with the WB setting on the camera when the exposure was taken? Because normally the WB setting has no effect on the RAW file itself and it doesn't really matter what the WB setting is. -dan c.

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. > > I don't know Capture One and how it works with the Canons to make a call on your workflow. > >Deen > >
