Can you remove the camera white balance setting in Aperture

I have a Canon 7D and use Aperture for processing and storing my images.
With the Canon I shoot both video and still and frequently adjust the white balance in the camera.  I make a frequent mistake in leaving the wrong white balance setting on - eg when taking video indoors in the evening  I set the white balance to indoors (the Canon seems poor at white balance decision making on video) and then I forget I'm not using auto white balance and switch to taking a photo with flash.  The result is a horrible blue photo - which if I don't spot the problem at the time seems very hard to correct afterwards.
I use the Aperture white balance adjustments frequently but unless there is a patch or white or grey I an use the dropper on, I find this particular situation seems to be right off the scale of what I can fix in Aperture.  I end up with sliders at the extremes of the scales and no intuitive sense of what numbers to type in manually to try and get realistic colour - so I often end up discarding these photos even if the shot itself is something I'd like to use.
So my question is given I'm importing RAW, is there a way to show the phoo without the (wrong) white balance setting I applied in the camera, to let me choose white balance from scratch?
Or if not, do you have any advice about how to adjust from this very bluey unrealistic colour of image?

Kirkby - thanks for the quick reply.
Didn't know you could drag inside a value field - that's helpful.
But being able to get different numbers on the slider isn't the root of my problem.
In a specific example I have two photos - one taken with white balance set to flash and the photo was with flash, where after a bit of tweaking to get the colour I want the temp slider is at 5000K (and tint 0).  The second photo has my shooting error with interior lighting white balance but taken with flash.  The two shots were taken from almost the same point of the same view (but different people in frame).  The shot with the white balance error comes off camera horribly blue coloured. I can fiddle with the two sliders - I take temperature to 20000K and tint to 40 to do the best with it I can, and with those settings one of the two faces is approaching flesh colour but the wall behind the subjects (which is a light blue in reality) is now appearing light yellow in places.  I just can't get a good looking colour effect no matter ow extreme the slider settings.
I may have phrased my question badly - as I totally agree you can't show a raw without a colour setting - so maybe I'm better asking to be able to use a different colour setting on the raw data rather than having to start with adjustments on top of my white balance mistake.
Given the two shots were in the same place against the same background and the same lighting (both with flash) it seems to me I ought to be able to get a similar colour effect on both and I just can't.  To illustrate here are the two photos (the one on the left was shot with flash wb and in Aperture I'm viewing it with 5000K and 0 tint, the one on the right was shot with indoor wb and in Aperture I'm viewing it with 20000K and 40 tint and it looks terrible!)

  • Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

    I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

    I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

  • Image contains camera White Balance setting; LR 5.5 only shows "As Shot", "Auto", and "Custom"

    I have a new, Panasonic DMC-GX7. I shot a bunch of photos as JPGs. When viewing their Exif data using Exiftool, I can clearly see the camera's White Balance setting, as well as the Color Temp Kelvin, WB Red Level, WB Green Level, and WB Blue Level. However, Lightroom 5.5 only shows "As Shot", "Auto", and "Custom" when I click White Balance under Quick Develop on the Library tab or WB under Basic on the Develop tab. Exiftool shows the Exif Version as 0230 and the Panasonic Exif Version as 0405. Is LR looking for the white balance information in some other field? Do I need to configure it somehow for my camera? I am new to LR (but not to image processing), so could use some help figuring this out.

    The whole question is not so simple as converting to DNG. Yes DNG is openly documented, yes the file can be read, but that does not mean it can be correctly interpreted by other software in the future and the best you can then do is starting the PP of your images from scratch. Imagine a DNG with LR adjustments that in some years you open the file in another software, possibly non-Adobe. Even if the file can be read it will not look the same, as the Adobe specific developing instructions could not be strictly followed. Even if all software manufactures agreed on a common set of adjustments, let's say everybody had a Highlights slider and a Clarity slider and so on, which is unlikely, the results would still be different as the underlying algorithms would be different.
    Disclaimer: I only shoot raw and firmly believe it is the best option, but one must be conscious it has some shortcomings related to the future of our images.

  • Adobe DNG converter is corrupting NEF files. The color is way off and it's not the camera white balance.

    I was using the converter for a few months and it was working fine. Now it will convert the files, but the color is really messed. I know it is not the white balance, because the same files convert fine to TIF files through Nikon's software. I am using this converter for Nikon d610 NEF files. Here's a sample DNG and the same image in TIF. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    When you use the DNG Converter to make a DNG from an NEF, the DNG Converter applies the default Camera Raw settings.  When I open your DNG it looks fine, but when you open it, it looks off.  That is because you've some how set your Camera Raw defaults to have a bunch of customized settings specific to a particular picture, instead of having them all be normal settings.  Below you'll see what Photoshop is saying the settings of the DNG-Converted-JPG are, with the non-defaults marked in bold.  The main problems are the WB being custom and a bunch of HSL setting changes.
    Here is what Photoshop reports that the JPG was created using:

    To fix the problem you're gonna need to reset your camera raw defaults:
    And then be careful when saving new camera raw defaults with the menu item just above, that your image has the camera raw defaults applied to it, except whatever small change you want to be the new default.

  • Can you put the tabs on top setting in 'Options - Tabs' so it's easy to get at?

    To save all this messing about with tabs everytime a new version of FF updates, I suggest the tabs on top setting is placed in 'Options - Tabs' so it's easy to get at. Lots of people seem to have this problem, for them and me, we prefer to have Tabs on Bottom like they used to be.
    Now we have to load an addin to correct this short-sightedness. I think this is a bad idea also. Why can't the browser just work straight out of the box? It did before!
    And while we are at it, the new updates should leave our customisations as they were, so we don't have to reset them all every time there's an update. In fact, during an update we are asked if we want to import settings etc from IE or don't import anything, but no option to import from the outgoing FF!!!!
    Many moons ago Firefox was a breeze now it's become a nightmare!

    Support to disable "Tabs on Top" has been removed from Firefox 29 and later and toggling the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page is no longer possible.
    You can look at the Tabs On Bottom or the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore this functionality.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    You can move the tabs to the lower position just above the browsing area without using an extension with code in userChrome.css as basically you only need to give the Tab bar a higher -moz-box-ordinal-group value (most toolbars have a default -moz-box-ordinal-group:1 to show them in DOM order).
    Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group:10000 !important; }
    </nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    * Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    * Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
    * Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    * Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

  • How can I remove the no used vpn setting in mac?

    I install a vpn app and it set something on my MAC. I want to remove the no used setting left like "VIP-US2-L" at left list. But when I choise one item, the remove button at bottom of the list is invalid.
    I think there are some files in MAC system files. And I can modify them to do this manual.But I don't no what files they are or how to do this.

    This is a guess, but maybe the Manage Virtual Inferface pop-up.  I'm guessing as I do not have VPN interfaces, and when I created my own VPN interface, I "Could" remove it using the main [-] button.
    Your mileage may vary, and I'm not sure this will do what you want.
    You are an admin user, correct?  I don't think non-admin users can remove network interfaces.
    Do you have System Preferences -> Security -> Advanced -> Require an administrator password to access system-wide preferences set?
    Those are all my guesses.

  • How can you remove the Save button on a survey?

    What options are there to remove the SAVE button from a SharePoint survey?
    I need to remove this if possible, I was hoping it would be as simple as editing a form in the Survey list... but that is apparently not the case.
    I need to supress the SAVE button as it confuses end users and we don't want any half completed surveys. Either it gets finished or not at all.
    Can someone hopefully provide me with an nice simple solution?  Or any solution at all :)
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Save button on the surveys with multiple question or with branching logic enabled is an out of the box feature and it is by design.
    If you want to remove the “save” button in a survey, I think you can use JavaScript to hide this button:
    1. Open your site in SharePoint Designer.
    2. Open your survey list newform.aspx page, in the code view, find this code “<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server"> <table>……. </table> “add the JavaScript” </asp:Content>”, add JavaScript before the “</asp:Content>” tag:
    <script>
    var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");
    for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
    if (x.item(i).type=="button"&&x.item(i).value=="Save")
    {x.item(i).style.display = "none"};
    </script>
    After this, you will not see the “Save” button when create new survey response. You can also add this JavaScript in the editform.aspx page.
    Hope it can help you.

  • S110: what purpose does the Flash white balance setting serve?

    I assume if you're using the flash for a shot then the camera knows it, so why would you have to set it in the WB menu.  If you don't need to set it, what's it for?  When I shoot with flash and WB set to Auto, everything comes out fine (except when zooming; see a separate post ont hat nearby).  Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you are shooting underexposed in order to kill all the ambient light, leaving only the flash light to show in the picture, then you need this. On AUTO WB the camera would have still been thinking the background/ambient light color is relevant so it would give you a bad color.
    That is something "strobists" in particular do a lot.

  • Can you remove the antennas off of a WRT54G router?

    Can you take them off? How hard is removing one of them? What do you need to do to remove them?

    It depends on what version of the WRT54G router you have.
    Version 8               -  antennas cannot be removed
    Version 7               -  not sure about this one
    Version 1 thru 6  -  antennas are removeable (should be fairly easy).

  • Can you remove the "View All RSS Articles" and Counter in Bookmarks Bar?

    Hi There. I have a folder/drop down menus called "MyMix" in the Bookmarks Bar with several subfolders of pages I like to visit regularly. It's a silly thing but I get tired of the climbing counter of RSS articles in parentheses that sits next to it. Is there anyway to remove that functionality? I have a few other drop down menus that don't have the same problem, so not sure why this one does it. I've tried copying the folder and taking out each individual subfolder but it still keeps the RSS counter and "View All RSS Articles" link in there.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Awesome, thank you. I should've checked preferences myself. Duh.
    Still curious as to why it chose that folder instead of the other one's I have to display the RSS updates but I guess that will remain a mystery.
    Thanks for your help!
