A Question about White Balance
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 3:26 am
In the initial opening of your fts data, Star Tools provides four choice for what type of data you have to present.
I use either a Canon 600D (unmodified), or a Canon 7D mkII (full spectrum modification). Both are Bayered, and both spit out "White Balanced" subs. I have my settings for WB as automatic. There are no choices to turn off WB.
So, just what button should I press to start my processing. The first two mention "Not WB". I have been using the second one. Should I be using the third button which means the program would try to reverse things before entering the processing stage?
My last thought is it possible that DSS takes care of the WB problem. If so, then the second button would be the appropriate starting point.
Sorry if this is all basic, and obvious to most of you, but before I started into AP, I had never had any kind of camera other than a film type back in the 1970's. These new DSLR's have so much in them, that it is very confusing. I've set things up as best I can, based on inputs from other photographers. Unfortunately, so functions are not very easy to understand, and it is worse because Canon does not provide an in depth users manual with the cameras. I guess they assume everyone knows how to use things. Caley
