[OM] Re: A couple of interesting things at ShootSmarter.

[Chuck Norcutt]

Will Crockett is probably the world's greatest proponent of shooting 
JPEG instead of raw.  He thinks the workflow costs for pro's to shoot 
raw is too heavy a price to pay.  Therefore it's not a surprise to see 
him fostering a device to set a custom white balance.  Looks like a nice 
product but the price is pretty stiff.  I think I'll stick with my 
WhiBal for raw and "Digital Grey Card" from Robin Myers Imaging

if I need a custom white balance.

The skin tone shootout should be very interesting.  Crockett is 
basically a wedding photographer and portraitist so skin tones are a 
subject near and dear to his heart.  It will be interesting to see how 
the test is conducted and which cameras are even tested.
