The Lightroom Manual is Not Clear on Options for the White-Balance Tool

In the section "Working with image tone and color" the Lightroom manual states:
Specify a neutral area in the photo
1. In the Basic panel of the Develop module, click the White Balance Selector tool to select it, or press the W key.
2. Move the White Balance Selector into an area of the photo that should be a neutral light gray. Avoid spectral highlights or areas that are
100% white.
3. Set options in the toolbar as needed.
Sets the White Balance Selector tool to dismiss automatically after clicking only once in the photo.
Displays a close-up view and the RGB values of a sampling of pixels under the White Balance Selector.
Zooms the close-up view in the Loupe...."
Item 3 is unclear.  I selected the white balance selector, and moved it to an area as instructed,
but I cannot find any toolbar with the options described. 
How do I get to this mysterious toolbar??  Everyone seems to think its a simple thing, but I cannot find it and I am not able to set any of the options described!
While I am sure this is a simple thing, I think that the manual should be much more clear about this description;  what is there now is very inadequate.

It should be directly underneath the image preview - press the T key if it's not there.

  • Undocumented Feature of the White Balance Tool!

    I have not been able to find any documentation on this, at least not in the User Manual nor in the Image Adjustments Manual.
    We all wanted to be able to click in multiple areas before leaving the white balance tool in case we clciked on the wrong spot.
    Well Apple went one better.
    Instead of multiple clicking, just continue to hold the mouse button down and aperture will white balance on the fly!!! Dang. I particularly like using it with the locked down loupe.

    Where can i make the paypal donation, lol!!<</div>
    I only wish!!!
    You're welcome

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
    Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
    Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
    Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

  • TS4425 when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

    when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

    which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
    I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.

  • Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the  Canon Sureshot S95

    Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
    after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

    (1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW.  Hardly a satisfactory solution.
    (I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ). 
    (2) SUGGESTION-  even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting).  I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
    Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs.  So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
    JJ
    *  (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

  • I am new to FCP. I have a canon 60d camera and purchased fcpX. I was recommended to download mgep streamline and convert my files to prores422. I do not have an option for prores 422 in my download. How can I fix the problem.

I do not have that either in my mpeg download.

    Do Not Disturb and Notifications
    Push notifications appear in Notification Center and alert you to new information, even when the
    associated app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
    a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
    Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. When it’s turned on and
    iPhone is locked, all notifications and calls are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the
    following options in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
    • Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Set the starting and ending hours for when you don’t
    want to be disturbed. iPhone turns on Do Not Disturb during these hours each day.
    • Allow some phone calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, calls are silently sent
    to voice mail. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls
    from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you define. For information about Favorites,
    see Chapter 25, Contacts, on page 100.
    • Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on
    their Caller ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPhone will ring.
    Turn an app’s notifications on or off: Go to Settings > Notifications. Tap an item in the list, then
    turn notifications on or off for that item. Apps that have notifications turned off appear in the Not in Notification centre

  • I have a late 2008 white macbook.  I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord.  My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor.  Nothing happens when plugged in.  Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab

    Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

  • HT1918 I was directed to itunes because I am trying to update my apps but my billing information is expired and will not allow me to do so, Im trying to switch my billing information to "NONE" but I do not see and option for that in my payment information

    I was directed to Itunes because I am trying to update my Apps but my billing information is decling it because my checking account has been expired, i was told to go to payment changes and select the option "None" but I do not have an option for that and just trying to find out a way to change my billing information to none so that I am able to update and download free apps!

    Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.

    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
