 Re: Anyone use the SpyderCube for WB? | |
I actually prefer the warmer rendition of the first flowerpot photo. The second photo of the cat looks nicer to me, though it does appear to have a warm cast to it, even in the black part of the cube. Perhaps you should have used the gray portion closest to the couch since the cat is also getting reflected light off of the couch. I suspect the most accurate (not necessarily the best looking) might be a compromise between the two gray areas, maybe 80% of the one on the right mixed with 20% of the one on the left. Sometimes I use a WB tool, but in the end I always balance to what looks best to my eye. Most people prefer a somewhat warmer balance. I took the photo into Photoshop to make sure I was getting a color balanced view of the image. I like it best when white balanced with the whitest part of the cat's leg-the one closest to the camera. Perhaps you should trim off a bit of that white fur and put it on a piece of card stock! It's less reflective and naturally repels dirt and liquids. You could call it the Elvis edition. No way am I suggesting the first combination key ring, cat's foot, Wb tool
