Ok so I have just started using a DSLR and would like to switch to shooting in RAW so that I can make sure an image is hopefully salvageable in PP. I usually like to go through an look at all my photos after taking them and pick a few favorites to work with or show friends. My question about raw is can I batch edit several photos with a set of parameters that should work for that particular scene ie. I was taking a lot of pictures during a short time with the same backdrop and I set white balance and other settings and say "apply to images 199-231" or do I have to adjust picture by picture. I'm happy with just a handful of good images out of the bunch but my wife will want all of the others to look like a JPEG to show friends.
Also I want to start set white balance. Starting out should I try to use the presets or should I try to set my white balance off a card. Could I use a piece of white cardstock to set white or do I need to buy a true card. Or is white balance something a should hold off until I try reforming/building other areas of my photography skill set.
Thanks in advance. I know there is a lot of questions.
