[Leica] 5D shot

[leica at robsteve.com (Robert Stevens)]

B.D.:

I am not sure if it works correctly with all the Canon cameras.  I 
took a 1D file and opened it in Canon's file viewer utility and 
transferred it to photoshop and then opened the raw file directly 
using the Adobe RAW.  I got two totally different color balances.  In 
both programs I was using as shot.  It was a night game, so the light 
was always changing, but I had done a custom white balance at some point.

The Adobe ACR is the one on the left.

BTW, if I selected auto white in the Adobe Camera Raw, it made the 
image look pretty decent.   I suppose you could open a whole shoot in 
ACR and select all and then set auto white balance and then have it 
save as mid sized jpegs to give you something to show the clients.

This is the same shot selecting auto white in Adobe Camera RAW.

Regards,

Robert
