Tina: When you custom white balance in RAW, the custom balance is only applied upon the conversion by the RAW software such as Canon's File viewer utility or Digital Photo Professional. You always have the original negative to revert back to, whether you open it in CS2 or the Canon Programs. When you shoot a whole hockey game and have an 8 frames per second camera like the MK II, you want to just set a custom white balance for the arena lights and not worry about it later. You can then do a batch conversion of the raws to large fine jpegs for the editors to use. The same could be said about a fashion or product shoot. If you get the exposure and white balance right, the post processing of thousands of images is much easier. It also gives you a better product right from the start for the editors to look at. You can probably come to the same result in CS2, but it is a lot more work. Regards, Robert -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
