Singh-Ray LB Color Combo and LB Color Intensifier

[Henry Goh]

Are they useful?  How do you set WB?  Do you set WB first then attach the filters?  Any samples of photos you have shot?  Thanks.

Not personally, although at least one photographer I know uses these a great deal in landscape work with good results.  The Singh-Ray blog has some possibly useful entries:

Thanks Paul.

These filters are pretty steep in price and I was wondering if we can achieve the same effects in post using PS.

A lot depends on whether you want to spend time in back of a camera or in front of a computer.

You might be able to duplicate the "color intensification" in PS, although not the glare/reflection-cutting function of a polarizer.  My poor man's version of "color intensification" is a slight tweak of RGB saturation combined with subtle mid-tone contrast adjustment.  It's not quite the same but works for me.
