Use a custom white balance, and always make your first & last shot of a McBeth card and a gray card in the tent.
Then, no matter what your light source is, you can correct the color in LightRoom, Bridge, or Photoshop ... or whatever image processing software you use. You should be able to batch process all the others to match. Also, I wouldn't worry about daylight bulbs, get 3200K tungsten bulbs and use Tungsten white-balance. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
