PannySVHS Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 My experience with shooting under tungsten light and wanting a warm cosy look is not to use a clinically correct manual WB but rather a higher color temperature like 4200K. Unless an Aces workflow will change that completely I found it close to impossible to reproduce that warmth in post after a technically correct WB, even with 10bit cameras. Merry Christmas everyone. 🙂 kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas everyone. 🙂 you’re performing the correct task in this case. if you were to set your WB to 3200, you would neutralise your tungsten lights to white, which is almost never really the point of tungsten. By setting it somewhere between 4000-4800, you’re opening up the possibility of color contrast within a shot where modern sensors tend to perform the best. Everything with a lower color temp than 4000 will be some degrees warmer than your neutral point, and everything with a higher color temp will be cooler. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
