Yes absolutely. Look at ExpoImaging products like ExpoCap and ExpoDisc. I use the ExpoCap and love the consistant results I get. It is a simple filter snapped onto the lens.One shot is taken in P mode while pointing the camera at the light source. The ExpoCap is then removed. That shot is then used in camera to set the custom WB. Simple to use if shooting JPG.


Without creating another RAW vs. JPG debate I personnally use JPG 98% of the time and here is why. JPG compresses the file by removing what is not visible to the naked eye. At the end of the day I want my clients to be happy with their photos and they are because they can't tell the difference. They don't know much about post processing and they do not scutinize photos like photographers do. They simply buy, frame and enjoy. This saves a tremendous amount of PP time and when you are talking 1000+ wedding photos that is huge. I know that may rub some purists the wrong way but it is a practicle solution. For those who enjoy shooting RAW and PP it is a personal choice. If I was a high end photog with high end clientele I would probably have to shoot RAW. But I am not. Perception can become reality unfortunately.
