Color film photography was more a matter of selecting daylight or tungsten film, and, for most people, perhaps using a cooling or warming filter. Digital is an entirely new world in some ways, and having the ability to fine tune color temperature - and I mean FINE tune - is new to most photographers. It may be that eventually a color meter will become an essential item in the pro's bag.
