What is the difference between "wrong white balance" and color grading?

I'm not picking on this guy or trying to make a point about leaving analog colors untouched. But you can clearly see that him fixing the white balance of 800T ruined all the mood. On the other hand you can clearly see that picleft does not look like one of these insanely well colorgraded pics?

So what gives?

When do I use full manual mode?
New to photography and I switch between Aperture and Shutter mode
Aperture mode if I need to change the focus and focal length for whatever reason, but usually I leave it in Shutter mode and let the camera decide aperture while I adjust the shutter speed and exposure compensation

What's the point of using expensive film, if you're going to digitally scan it and color correct it in post? Is it just for the grain size?

So you get film's color science, then slap digital filter from camera/scanner, then you tweak this again to your liking?

Why not just use cheapest possible film if you're post processing anyway?

Can someone explain what's going on in this picture and how I can replicate it?

Everything on the table appears huge compared to the person in the chair.

What's going on?

Doing a large outdoor shoot across 2 days with 180+ deliverable shots to a client. I've been using a mix of Adobe and other tools but it is time consuming matching batches manually.

I saw that Capture One has both smart colour grading for outdoor weddings/editorials and also slider based retouching for detected faces now. It's $333 a year subscription. I want to know if it actually works well, or is just a gimmick. Is that actually worth it for anyone who uses C1Pro here?

I like it sm

Photo from now. I'm laying on the hard floor of my building's external area. Here in Brazil.

Ok. What's the explanation for this form of cloud?

Can you claim that an accidental aspect of a photograph is artistic? Does every little thing in a photo have to be intentional?

I want that retro film feel that turns head without the headache of viewfinders with manual focus and development/scanning. Is refurbishing the inside with digital the way to go?
