Sorry for butting into this discussion between experts!

are a few advantages that Photoshop offers over filtration)Off the top
of my head):
1. You can experiment with fine increments of colour withoutbracketing away a whole role of film
2. You can selectively correct colour in chosen parts of thepicture
3.You don't have to spend time at the "decisive moment" takingcolour readings
4. You don't have to carry an extra bag full of filters and CTmeter
5.You can capture the ambient colour which may not always becorrect, but often lends an extra magic to the image.
6. Colour is seldom a single temperature throughout the image andfiltration is indescriminate.

There's one question that still keeps jumping up and down in my head:
Using CC filters does not prevent you using PhotoShop later.
If you know there is a strong colour cast, it does not hurt to deal
with most of it by filters at the time of capture. PS and CC filters
are not mutually exclusive. So for your "1" you don't have to be
stupid and bracket a whole roll, you just pick which CC your
experience [hahahah, remember that word :o) ] tells you then do the
fine tuning in PS.
I agree, a CT meter is probably overkill for most
I also agree that there is mood ("5") that can be killed by over
correction, whether by CC filters or PS auto-levels. All in all, I
just think it's best to use all your options rather than force an
either-or question.
Forced to choose these days I'd go with RAW capture and PS :o)
