Color temperature setting / Whitebalance

[martinnoweck]

following this advice from Jim, setting the Whitebalance in the metadata is the way to go - but talked to colorist today who said, he always leaves the metadata as they are and does the whitebalance in the primaries.

any thoughts?

best wishes and kind regards,
martin

This is a really personal decision. Only the colorist cab decide...

If the end image looks fine and as intended, then all is good, but ideally, Jim's advice to properly white balance with our tools is correct and will lead to best results.
