Anybody who knows how to save a personal white balance value that i could import to Canon 1Ds mark III? With Camera raw i could save a value but the canon software dont like that format....
Which software should i use?
Okay, interesting question. Can you tell us why you want to do it that way? If it's just a white balance you had on a particular day which looked nice or a custom white balance you used under unusual lighting conditions, I would be very wary of doing anything this way. I see you have a 1D MkII. Is that the camera you want to import from? If so, they are two different cameras and if you're looking for uniformity, I'd avoid this method (if it can be done). The best way to do it is to shoot a grey card with both cameras and correct it in post.
Because i take sport pictures mostly in two indoor gyms its nice to have the wb ready.....The lights is the same from time to time....
And if i have these two ready saved in personal wb its much faster when i have to take the pictures.
I'd be very wary of this. I think it probably won't work. There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, the white balance will very likely vary between the two buildings so what's good for one won't be good for the other one, even if it looks similar to you. Secondly, there are some types of lights which will produce inconsistent results, depending on shutter speed. I have yet to find a way to eliminate that problem.
Whatever the case, there is very little likelihood that you can expect the two cameras (with different sensors) to produce consistent results in two different buildings. The only way to do it is to take a shot of a grey card with both cameras under the relevant light conditions and correct it in post.
Sorry if this is not the answer you want but I have extensive experience with white balance and there is no easy way out.
IMO, custom white balance is always the best way to go. But having said that... Your cameras have a kelvin setting "K" that should work well for you. How it works is, if you have done a custom white balance in gym A before, then check your raw file for what the temperate is. Set your camera to that from now when you shoot in gym A. Do the same thing for gym B.
Its one camera iam talking about.....and why do they have the personal wb in the camera at all? And of course its two different wb values one for each gym.
Simply adjusting Kelvin settings in the camera probably won't work either. The problem is that the light may have a peculiar spike which cannot be corrected this way and you may, in fact, make it worse. When you do a CWB, you correct for different levels in each channel. When you do K changes manually, you do it evenly across the spectrum. If the balance is wrong to start with, changing the Kelvin settings won't help.
I dont think whe are talking about the same thing. The only thing i want is to register a personal wb value in the camera. But i dont know which software to use.
