• White Balance Fine Tuning
The colors on the fine-tuning axes are relative, not absolute. For example,
moving
the cursor to B(blue) when a "warm" setting such as ~~~
(incandescent) is selected for white balance will make photographs
slightly "colder"
but will not actually make them blue.
R uMired"
Any given change in color temperature produces a greater difference in
color at
low color temperatures than it would at higher color
temperatures. For example, a change
of 1000 K produces a much greater
change in color at
3000 Kthan at 6000 K. Mired, calculated by multiplying
the inverse of the color temperature by 10
6
,
is a measure of color
temperature
that takes such variation into account, and as such is the unit
used in color-temperature compensation filters. E.g.:
• 4000 K-3000 K (a difference of 1000 K)=83 mired
• 7000 K-6000 K (a difference of 1000 K)=24 mired
