I have heard of 3 schools of though for changing White Balance in Digital Cameras:

1-Use a gel such as a CTO and adjust Camera WB to match the Gel
-or-
2-Shoot Raw Auto White Balance and adjust in Photo Shop
3-Shoot with an "Expo Disc" to get correct white balance falling on your subject and adjust your WB setting to cuom based on expodisc reading.


I have tryed the first 2 methods but not the 3rd. I'd like to hear other photographers methods on this issue.

i have the expo disc warm and it really does work... although since I switched i don't even use it anymore... :)

Mike, I shoot RAW always... No WB horrors here, just CF space. :)

i find raw such a pain to use but it can really save the day in PP. tried the expodisc but rarely use now since it has the same effect as standard grey cards.

on my Fuji S2, i use custom white balance when shooting weddings. :) if shooting for fun, i shoot RAW.

I have an expodisc but seldom use it nowadays.

Raw + Nikon Capture for me.

I also have an ExpoDisc but seldom used, I always use WhiBal card it is simplier and easier to use.

Just take a shot of the WhiBal card anytime where your subject is located and use that as a reference for those shots that needs WB correction.

I always shoot RAW.
