This question is for those of you that shoot in RAW and adjust WB later in PS. How do you get consistant WB between multiple shots of the same subject? |

do your white balance adj by color temp. in RAW. Then for each photo just use the same color temp. |

Yeah, that works but only if the subject stays in the same conditions. |

It's quite easy when under controlled lighting. Take a pic of a graycard under the light source and then use it the set your WB point. That part is easy.
Under non-controlled lighting it can be a bit different.
In conversion I usually look for a known white point or neutral grey in the photos.
Weddings are usually kind of easy because you can almost count on white being prominent in most photos.

Ah, I was hoping there might be a better way in conversion. That's how I do it too, but was wishing for a quicker and less subjective way.

Well, if you want to go so far as to gel all the light sources... it is quite easy to set WB in post process :-)

Thanks guys. :) |

Another thing that is worth trying...
If you have photoshop, open up all the shots you want to match with each other and go into Image>Adjustments>Match Color. You can't do more than 1 match at a time and you can only match to another open photo, but it works pretty well in a pinch. |
