Well, in principle you get 3 degrees of freedom instead of 1 (though, I would love to see camers with more than 3 color filters).
In practice you do 2 anyway (with exposure correction being used even more often than white balance). So I agree that more than that is usually not worth the effort.
From my amateour photography experince - with strange lighting you cannot do much anyway.
- hatsunearu 5y agoWith multiple light sources, the white balance is undefined and you need to compromise somehow, yeah. Even a scene where there is strong sunlight and a bright blue sky will make white balancing quite difficult, as the shadows are lit with sky blue skylight and the sunlit parts are lit with the sun. I use darktable and it's possible to correct the blue tint in shadows, but like... it's annoying. And at some point I'd say fuck it and just accept that photography is not a science.
