Default UV Protector filter vs. Skylight filter?

However, in digital world, you can make color changes after the fact, so
there is little difference between UV and skylight.


If you shoot RAW, there isn't even a change at all, if you do color
balancing in the RAW converter. You are scaling the RAW data for the
first time, using your specific scaling as a _sustitute_ for the
default. The native scaling of the sensor/CFA is not what you get
without any color adjustments; it would be totally unusable on many
cameras, except as a special effect. On the 10D, equal scaling of the
channels would result in a very cyan cast, as the red channel is 0.6
stops less sensitive than the blue and green channels.
