I have been wondering how people correct their white balance indoors when using halogen lights. Is fixing wb in photoshop ok. Or using a blue gell on the lights, but that reduces the amount of light to work with. When i take a white balance reading off a white piece of paper, faces tend to look white and lack color.
Also how could halogen lighting be used as back light and a normal 550ex flash used as a front light. I know the flash is already daylight and the halogen is not. Is their a way to do this.
Any comments or suggestions would be brilliant. Thanks. |

I find halogen to be close to daylight and have used that setting in some cases, however, using a custom white balance seems to work best.

halogen is not close to day light everything seems to come out very orange. Is it best to do custom wb with a pure white sheet of paper, or use something with a tinge of grey?

i would recommend custom white balance, or shoot raw and correct in post-processing to fine-tune it.

yes that is a good idea. its a pity you cant do that raw wb ajustment setting in photoshop when you shoot jpg.
Would using a flash and halogen work? or would some light look blue and some orange depending on your adjustment?
