Nowadays shooting a raw file is like you bracketed the color slide shot with every mired filter made. You get a better result in the end. -- Mark R. > From: Richard Man <richard at imagecraft.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 20:40:09 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] M9 color balance > > Because there may not be one correct white balance? e.g.indoor with > multiple light sources. > > That's besides the point though, the point is that the raw file data > is not changed, whether it's WB, or cropping, or dodge and burn etc., > if you use something like Lightroom, Aperture or something similar. > > On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 8:36 PM, Robert Meier <robertmeier at usjet.net> > wrote: >> Why on earth would anyone want to change the white balance again and again >> in post processing? >> >> >> On Aug 13, 2011, at 10:33 PM, Richard Man wrote: >> >>> That's the beauty of a raw file, even if the WB setting is tagged to >>> the file, it does not change the data in the file itself, so you can >>> change it again and again in post processing. >>> >>> On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 7:31 PM, Herbert Kanner <kanner at acm.org> >>> wrote: >>>> >>>> Not true.
