Why can’t I use just any white object for white balancing?
White balancing on a piece of paper or another white element in the scene may seem like a simple workaround, but these objects are not neutral under all lighting conditions and certainly not consistent.
An inaccurate white balance will result in color casts and a lack of consistency between lighting conditions, making color corrections extremely time-consuming. It will slow down your post-processing as you attempt to fix the resulting color casts.

- Minimize colour differences between cameras and lenses.
- Adapt for mixed lighting.
- Match colour balance across scenes.
Dual-Illuminant DNG Profile:
Combines images under different light sources for a single profile, suitable for various lighting conditions.
