Regarding choice of White Balance in ACR

[subramanya_ck]

Dear All,

I have been shooting in RAW and "Landscape" mode in my Canon cameras for a long time. When I import my images into ACR for processing, there is again a choice of camera profiles such as Adobe standard, Camera Landscape, faithful, landscape etc... I found that using Camera standard/ faithful produce images will almost no color cast, however these images are normally very flat. However images in Camera landscape produce vivid colours and sometimes strong color cast.

I am interested in knowing if there is any good practice of choosing the color profiles based on the scene ? And what is your "de facto" choice for Landscape and Bird images ?

Thank you all..

For landscapes I click on adobe standard, landscape, and camera standard and will chose the best profile for the image. If there is a lot color in the sky I usually pick landscape. For avian and other images I go between adobe and camera standard I chose the profile that's get me closest to the image I want
