Quote - That's a nice technique bagginsbill but it sorts of negates the point of introducing some colour warmth or otherwise into a shot, to get away from the pure white CG lighting look, don't you think?

I just noticed what you said here. You're actually supporting the technique, based on what you said. You just don't realize it.

You said "it sort of negates the point of introducing some colour warmth".  This implies that you sometimes would like to introduce some colour warmth into an image, correct? And so if you'd like to introduce some warmth, you'd clearly want to stay away from any IBL that had a blue cast to it, right?

So let's say that the IBL in your kit that is your most favorite, producing the most lovely contrast and shapes on your figure, actually turns out to be an outdoor one with a blue cast. You might think you shouldn't use that one, eh? That would be a mistake.

If you removed the blue cast you can use it for neutral lighting. You can even use it to produce an amber cast, if you like, by putting an amber color in the light's color.
