M10-R and Kev WB for white balance

Jay OC

Kev WB was recommended to me in another thread. I downloaded it to give it a try. My observations are:The following 3 shots were shot at AWB, 2700 and 2800 kelvinWB = AWBWB = 2700 KelvinWB = 2800

The second 2700 looks great, have you tried using your image processor and lowering the AWB setting, how would that compare. I know on ACR it will show where the AWB places the image.

I should do it but have never gotten around to doing it. I found using the app easier than using a grey card. I imagine, I will continue to use AWB and use the app when I want to put in the extra effort.

With any modern display, it's something you have to check only about once a year, once set up correctly.Using the White Balance tool in LR allows you to get the white balance right on the money in a tenth of a second. I don't understand how this is a lot of "extra effort". Using another app to obtain correct white balance setting has to be a lot more effort.G

You just open the app and point your phone to the scene and it tells you the temperature of it. It’s super easy and it doesn’t need much effort at all.For people who care about the look of SOOC jpeg or to get the WB as close to the scene as possible , this is a great tool. If you just want to capture the scene and rely on editing for adjusting WB later, you don’t really need that nor any other WB options on the camera but just AWB.But how do you remember the actual temperature of the scene( even only using it as reference) if you don’t record it right in the first place?
