Questions about setting my gray point.
I took a photo of my 18% gray card during the shoot.
I left my camera (D200) white balance setting as "flash" for the entire shoot.
In Capture NX, I changed the camera settings "exposure comp" to "CaptureNX" and then in Base Adjustments > Camera Adjustments > White Balance, I set the "gray point" using the photo of the gray card. I copied my settings and pasted them on to the shots I was working with. Below is an example.
Again, I left my WB alone in the camera. In the future, would it have been better to make a custom WB (in camera) once I shot the gray card? Or would that have only saved me time by not having to do it later in CaptureNX (like I did)?
NO OTHER ADJUSTMENTS made to this photo EXCEPT setting the gray point (in CaptureNX) from the gray card photo.
