After adjusting white balance in ACR, images are opening in Ps at a different size.

Can anyone explain like I'm 5 why this is happening, and how to prevent it? Thanks!
Negatives are scanned at 3200dpi, and 24bit depth. This is the metadata from Bridge.
Default settings in Camera Raw
After opening in Photoshop.

Scanned direclty into photoshop. And if I open the tif from explorer or bridge, bypassing Camera Raw, it opens as the 75mb file size. I thought it might have somethign to do with the color, as Bridge labels bits/channel as 'Bit depth', but the images all are 24bit, even after White Balance correction in Camera Raw.
Thanks for taking the time to help me figure this out. It's been causing a huge problem this week.

Adjust white balance for multiple images at once?

Is this possible to adjust the white balance for multiple images at the same time?
Or adjust the exposure for that matter?

Of course, this is similar to the question you asked in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3964192#3964192
except use White Balance instead of Exposure. For others who might be wondering the same thing:
1) Set the White Balance for one image.
2) Select all of the images you want to copy the White Balance to.
3) Type "O" to initiate the Lift & Stamp HUD
4) Click on the image with the White Balance you want to copy with the with the L&S up arrow.
5) In the L&S HUD uncheck all the checkboxes except Adjustments.
6) Click on the disclosure triangle to the left of Adjustments. If there are other adjustment settings besides White Balance listed, select them and delete them with the delete key.
7) Once all you have is Adjustments White Balance in the L&S HUD, then click the "Stamp Selected Images" button in the L&S HUD.

Adjusting white balance

In CS5, how can I adjust the white balance of an image? I open it with the Levels and select the Sample in Image to Set White Point and I select the whitest part of the image.
1. Is this the correct way to do this? What if the white is off white or not quite white. Is there a more accurate way? With video you set the camera with a white card. Do you use a white swatch to bring in to calibrate the images?
2. What if the image does not have white in it for me to select? Can I bring in a white swatch to do this?
Thanks!

In camera raw mode the third tool is the white balance tool. If you are starting with an image that is not a raw format, find it in adobe bridge, right click on, and choose open in raw.
The methods I may use after that depends on the type of image(hi key, lo key, contrast, rgb, cmyk) and in what area the problem is(1/4s, mids, shads). On a white shirt you should have better success using the middle neutral eyedropper in levels and clicking on an area which you want neutral, so you do not blow out your detail. I also often find great results with channel mixer.
If you are in CMYK, you may use curves and move your highlights to 5,3,3,1 for a neutral highlight.
Yes shoot your photos including a white card or grayscale and try the white balance tool.

Mass unset an adjustment (white balance), aperture 3

Hi all,
I upgraded to Aperture 3 and everything went smoothly, even the library upgrade.
Except for a small adjustment thing: After "reprocess masters" every image I had white balance set manually (most of my tens of thousands of images), looks now green. Not only slightly, everything is green. When I unclick the white balance adjustment, the picture returns to pretty much what I expected it to be (camera is Canon 5D, raw images).
Seems that Aperture 3 processes this generally better and pictures look fine without adjusting white balance.
Now the question is: how do I mass unset white balance setting for each and every image inside a project? With lift and stamp I can change white balance, but I didn't find a way to unset it completely. Manually I can uncheck the box before white balance and that does the trick, but I don't plan to click 42000 images manually.
Is there a way to batch change this? It would be easier to just unset everything, then go through the previews quickly to see if some of the photos need WB adjustment and do those few manually. I've now gone through five projects manually and have left the manual adjustment to only about ten photos with a slight modification towards purple.

Yes 5D can do that but I don't use the feature.
These are albums created ages ago with first Aperture 1 and then Aperture 2 for the newer ones. Actually, this pointed me to the right direction.
The greenness problem seems to trouble only old photos processed with Aperture 1.0 or 1.1 RAW settings. I've been processing the oldest albums first and didn't even think about this.
For 2.x photos, the reprosessing doesn't cause any greenness or other problems, and also, curiously, the "stamp default from jpg" trick works for these images just as suggested here, in case I wanted to remove the WB settings, which seems to be unnecessary.
But for 1.x raw processed photos, there is a desperate need to do something and the lift & stamp trick doesn't work.
Weird, but the problem seems to be in the fact that I never converted anything when I migrated to Aperture 2. There was no need to do anything so I just let the old ones be as they were. I tested moving to 2.0 raw with a couple of photos and I wasn't happy with the result as something in the colours and/or white balance changed and some minor adjustments would have been needed.
So thanks for your help and ideas once again. I'll leave the old ones for now as they are and hope Apple fixes this. They obviously haven't tested the migration at all with a library containing photos processed with the ancient 1.0 raw processing.

White balance for infrared images

Hello there,
I love making infrared photos with my digital camera (Canon dSRL).
When I take an IR shot, I usually set the custom white balance inside the camera, so that false colours appear correctly. If I open the CR2 RAW file using the software provided by Canon (Digital Photo Professional) the image appears correctly; on the contrary, if I use Adobe Camera Raw (which I prefer to) it seems that my custom white balance is not properly displayed.
So I'm wondering if this is an issue of CR or there is something to do that I don't know. Can you help me?

This tutorial by Sean MacCormick shows how you can edit the camera profile so that White Balance for IR images is brought within the adjustment range that Camera Raw and Lightroom http://lightroom-blog.com/2009/05/creating-ir-camera-profile.html

How do I include metadata information (aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance) to each image on contact sheet?

How do I include metadata information (aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance) to each image on contact sheet?

Just to expand JimHess reply. This are all the EXIF data you can include on a print. As far as I know, WB is not written to any standard EXIF fields.

Apply White Balance To Multiple Images

Now that I'm shooting RAW all the time, I'm really, REALLY getting tired of having to manually change the white balance for every single image. As many of you probably know, you can select any number of images in Abode RAW, and then use your WB source image to mass-apply the white balance to said images. Further, you can select images and then contextual-menu to apply changes.
For the life of me, I cannot see how to do this in Aperture. I've tried everything I know to do, but I still have to manually activate individual images and then set the WB. If I could mass-apply a preset to a group of pics, that'd be passable -- but I don't see how to do that, either.
Thoughts? Advice? Solutions?
Thanks,
Maury

Hello! One way to do it is to first make sure that Primary Only is off. Then make the white balance correction to an image. Then use the Lift tool to lift the white balance off it. A dialog box will open showing you what is being lifted. Now you can shift-select a beginning image and an ending image. The shift-select will apply the Stamp to everything in between.

Adjusting WHITE BALANCE within CS5 ?????

Is there a way of adjusting White Balance, in R3D files shot with a RED-One, "within" Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 ?
Or, would I need to upgrade to CS5.5 to do that?
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Which version of Premiere Pro, exactly? If 5.0.2 or later, you should be able to load the RMD (RED metadata) file associated with the clip. If you did any color adjustments to correct for white balance in, say, REDCINE-X, then loading the RMD file will reflect those changes.
This video shows loading and using RMD files:

Colour cast using auto White Balance in ACR 7.4

I am experiencing a yellowish colour cast when I set the White Balance to Auto in Adobe Camera Raw. This happens with pictures taken with the Nikon D7100 and also the Nikon D50.
Here is an example,
White Balance set to "As Shot":
White Balance set to "Auto":

So I would conclude the ACR auto wb process is apparently not as reliable as the camera determination, and certainly inferior to direct measurement on a neutral object.
Oh, Auto WB is reliable for what it was designed to do...take the image colors into consideration when determining the auto white balance. It's doing exactly what it's supposted to do...the fact that it's often not what you want shouldn't be a surprise. The way a camera determines WB is by using a WB sensor (either the sensor itself or an external sensor) which is much more accurate than measuring image colors after capture. I've seen Auto WB help in certain cases where there simply is not white neutral in which to measure but I've found manually adjusting WB the best solution in most cases.

Adjust white balance on iSight

Hi.
Though I have had an iSight camera for almost a year, I have not used it much until now, after Skype came out with the video capability for Macs. My question is how can I adjust the white balance on iSight? Under the same lighting condition, the difference in the picture quality and brightness between iSight and Logitech QuickCam Orbit is very noticeable. The iSight picture is much darker, whereas the Logitech QuickCam provides a picture that looks as if I were outside in the sun. There are no overtones or discoloration, just a clear picture. Unfortunately, though, the Logitech is a USB camera, so motion is not good. Can I adjust the white balance or other preferences on iSight? How do I do that?
Thanks for any feedback in advance.

Transfering white balance from one image to many images.

I'm starting to shoot with a gray card to get better color representation in my portraits... I typically shoot RAW. I've read that you can save the white balance info from one image ( in a DNG file?) and transfer it to other images that are either JPEG or RAW ( as long as the initial image is a RAW). Anyone know how to both save the info, then transfer it?

It doesn't directly address your question, but another way - sometimes useful for a group of modestly sized set of photos taken in the same light - is to open them all in Camera Raw (e.g., by opening them all in Photoshop), then using the Select All function and adjusting the white balance settings (or choosing a preset). When done, press Done, and those settings will be saved for each of the images.

Adjusting white balance in CS2

I inadvertently had my Fuji S9500 camera white balance set to fluorescent lighting. This produced indoor pictures (no flash used) which have a strong yellow tone. How can I adjust the image colour in CS2 to make the photos look more natural.
Needless to say I have since set the camera white baslance to auto.
With thanks in anticipation,
Rod P

Were you shooting RAW?
If not, then your question belongs in the Adobe Photoshop for your platform, Macintosh or Windows.
If you do have RAW images, adjusting them in ACR is extremely easy. Let us know.

LR4 beta white balance on cropped images

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, I could not find a post with silimar issues.
LR4 Beta 64 on WinVista : Nex 5N raw files
WB picker on a cropped image seems to give variable (and wrong) results
I wanted to tweak WB an image that I'd previously cropped and made some adjustments to....WB was already close, the picker on a white fishing bouy was at ~90/88/91. Clicking the picker on bouy gave a strong red shift, about +5 on the red.
1st time I did it I thought I'd jerked the mouse somewhere, tried it again.. and again with similar results. Repeated several time.
I opened LR3 and had no problems with the same image.
I reopened LR4B and got the same problem again.
Undid the crop and the WB adjustment was fine.
I went back to LR3 and cropepd the same image the same way and WB was fine.
Went back to Lr4B and again, WB was off.
I reset the image so that it had no other adjustments. WB was OK but again when I cropped it it was off.
Opened another image and did the same thing. ie full image WB was OK, cropped I got a +5 or so shift, although this time in blue.
Tried it with a different crop and got a -15 on red.
WB zoom level was at max

Eric,
Take just about any photo and crop so all the sides are moved toward the middle. It isn't hard to find a point on the image where the white balance dropper looks like it's over a near-grey(and its numbers say near-grey), but when you click, the picture gets an extreme colour cast. And the point where you click doesn't go grey, either, but moves much farther from grey.
Here's the crop:
Here's what happens when the eyedropper is over the almost-grey snow:
Note what's happening in the Navigator preview. It's as if the eyedropper were over the yellow jacket, but the numbers on the loupe show grey.

How do I save a file after altering white balance?

Adobe has previously supplied incorrect advice. Adobe has now told me to use this forum to seek the correct advice. I am trying to alter white balance on some shots. The originals are in RAW (actually Sony's ARW). So I alter the shots in Photoshop and save as a DNG file. This requires me to save to a new location- no problem. However, when I open the altered shot (saved as DNG), it has always reverted to the old (uncorrected) white balance. I have tried various ways of saving but this keeps recurring. Please does anyone know how I need to save the altered shots to "hold" the altered white balance. NB I have no need to retain the unaltered versions of the shots. Thanks

The originals are in RAW (actually Sony's ARW). So I alter the shots in Photoshop and save as a DNG file.
As Jon points out there's no reason to use DNG if your camera is supported by your version of the Camera RAW plugin:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The point of Camera RAW is to let you save color adjustments in a non-destructive way—the adjustments are saved as instructions rather than permanently applied to the image pixels. It's the digital version of an analog negative.
So you don't make the adjustments in Photoshop, you make them in Bridge or Lightroom and the adjustment instructions are saved either to an xml sidecar along with the file or in the Camera RAW database depending on your preferences (Bridge>Camera RAW Preferences). In Bridge you can make the adjustments, click either Done or Open, and the adjustments will be saved for that .CR2 image.
Here I've set a custom white balance, adjusted the exposure and clicked Done to save the settings. When I open the image now or in the future the "negative" will be "developed" using the saved white balance and exposure.
You can make additional adjustments in Photoshop, but those adjustments would not be saved with the .CR2 "negative". To use the image in other applications it has to be saved as a separate file (as a "positive")—.psd, .tiff, .jpg, etc. You can not place raw images in other apps like InDesign or Illustrator.

Adding White Balance To Raw Images

Does anyone know how to add a custom white balance to a raw image using Photoshop Elements 2?
Thanks,
John

The only way to work with RAW in PE 2 is if someone created a plug-in specifically for your camera's RAW files. For instance, for my Minolta RAW files, I used Dalibor's .MRW plug-in for PE 2. But there's nothing built-in in PE 2 that understands RAW. ACR appeared with PE 3.
