Spring in the City - WB

smallaperture · 9th January 2006

Viewing thru' all the posts in the Spring in the City shows, I noticed that WB seems to be the major bugbear there.

Stage light plus some sunlight from the skylight and filled flash makes it a WB nightmare. Most got a yellow cast or some tried to whiten it and the skin become too white or pale.

Wonder if there is a good way to fix it in PS that is not subjective that needs to be adjusted by feeling and viewing.

Or shooting in RAW makes it easier to do the WB in PS.

I have also read somewhere that we can put some filter over the flash to match the stage light's color temperature - well, I haven't seen anyone doing that before.

I guess there is no easy solution to it. And this is where even the AWB from the best Pro-Camera might not be able to fix well.

And I have yet to post my pics ( still struggling with the WB)
