Camera raw/white blance

I am using windows and PS3.
I am using a infrared converted Nikon D70, image capture must be done in raw only and must have its own white balance set by me.
I understand that when going into camera raw from bridge camera raw will not understand the "custom"white balance then change the white balance to "Auto" automatically upon opening image.
How can I continue using camera raw for these Infrared images
I can not for the life of me find access for changing this automatic change.
Any one know ??
Thanks Phil

The issue with white balance and IR modified cameras is the when Camera Raw uses its built-in camera profile, which was designed for non-modified cameras, the white balance parameters fall outside the temperature/tint range supported by Camera Raw.
The real solution here would be to use a custom camera profile designed for your IR modified cameras. This would bring the white balance parameters inside the supported temperature/tint range.
Currently there is no easy way to do this (use a custom camera profile). If you are a computer programmer, you could convert the files to DNG, and then write a program to modify the embedded profile inside the DNG.
Short of that, I don't have any good solutions for you at present.

  • Camera Raw white balance presets

    When I open an image (either RAW or JPEG), I only have 3 option for white balance presets. "As Shot" "Auto" or "Custom". Does anyone know how I can get the other presets?? I am using CS3 w/ Camera Raw 4.2. I have reset my Camera Raw defaults with no luck.
    Thank you for your help.

    Brent: Are you absolutely, 100%, sure you are opening a raw file?
    JPEG and TIFFs so not have these extra presets because they don't make sense since the starting point for a JPEG/TIFF is unknown.

  • How do you make the colour tone of the adjustment brush in camera raw white?

    I am using Camera Raw (Version7.0.0.308) in CS6. The adjustment brush does not have a slider for the colour tone but jumps from blue to yellow with the +, - keys. How do I set it to white? Currently all my adjustment come out either with a yellow tone or a blue tone.

    Hi,
    I would update to camera raw 7.4 and install any other updates that show when using Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6.
    Then check if you have the same issue.

  • CS4 Camera RAW White Point

    Setting White Point in Camera RAW 5.7 CS4
    I am trying to make pictures out of scanned old slides/negatives which often have colour casts.
    Some pictures do not have a suitable white spot for setting the point.
    I often find that the "As Shot" or any of the default settings do not look right.
    Please what is the best way to set the white point for these ?

    Photoshop, or even Elements, would have more options than Lightroom for fixing colors or a color-cast in images that have not been added by the scanner, but is already in the images, themselves, a color cast usually caused by different rates of deterioration of the various pigments in the photo paper or film.
    Trying the different Options in the Photoshop Levels command can be helpful. 
    You can tweak the RGB channels differently in Photoshop Curves.
    Elements has a Remove Color Cast command that works for simple cases and is similar to the Auto WB in LR or ACR.
    Sometimes you need to duplicate one of the color channels and substitute it for one of the other color channels.  For example if the red is entirely faded, then duplicate the blue channel and paste it into the red channel and see how things look, or perhaps use the green channel, instead, depending on the mix of colors in the original.  There are techniques for adjusting skintones at the expense of other colors in the image.
    There are tutorials for fixing underwater images that would be somewhat applicable to photos heavily faded by prolonged exposure to sunlight or indoor UV sources.
    Tweaking the HSL sliders in LR or ACR can be helpful if the image is mostly fixed by prior adjustments.

  • White Balance in Camera raw

    Every time I open an image from Bridge in CS6, into camera raw the white balance always defaults  to fluorescent.  How can I change default opening to read as"shot as"?

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Camera Raw forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • My images are going from from camera raw to totally white in Photoshop CS6, I am using a Mac computer.

    I am using Photoshop CS6 and my images are opening up totally white from camera raw into photoshop.
    I am using a Mac. Just recently switched from PC to raw, and never had this problem.

    Is everything up to date?

  • Where do I find the white or shadow sliders in Adobe Camera Raw 8.71

    Where do I find the white or shadow sliders in Adobe Camera Raw 8.71  I just downloaded Photoshop from Creative Cloud as an update to my CS 5, yet these sliders are not there. Thanks!

    In CR the dialog has changed to new setting. Old images have to be updated to the new process. Now all sliders to the left bring a darker result, to the right a brighter result.
    New process is much finer than the old, you have to work it for a while but you will like it, when you are used to the new behavior.

  • Picture appears white (cannot see the image) when using camera raw filter in photoshop cc

    I have a fresh install of Photoshop CC on my macbook.  I am running into an issue when editing an image in Photoshop cc and using the camera raw filter.  If I choose the camera raw filter camera raw opens up but all I see is white - the picture is not showing within the camera raw interface.  This happens whenever I am working on a layer and apply the camera raw filter.  The only time it works is when I do not have any layers but only the image as it comes directly from within camera raw - then it works fine.  I'm guessing there is something really basic I am missing but it is maddening!

    You are welcome.
    The Camera RAW filter will not work on an adjustment layer alone. Select the layer with the image and the adjustment layer and convert to a smart object to apply the Camera RAW filter to the image with the adjustment layer applied.

  • Camera Raw and Black & White Pictures

    I am using Potoshop Elements 7.0 and I just downloaded the latest camera raw (5.2). However, both with the old and new camera raw plug when I import black & white pictures from my Nikon D80 in NEF format I see them as colour pictures in the PSE organizer. How can I keep the original format (black and white in this case) while importing the pictures?

    Your images are indeed color pictures. That's their original format. When you think you're shooting B&W, the camera built-in software just adds a flag for the camera manufacturer's raw converter to render them as B&W. ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) ignores that flag and leaves it up to you to convert the images to B&W through the method of your choice.

  • Camera Raw crashes with use of white balance eye dropper.

    Using PS CC2014.2.1
    Since this update, whenever I use the white balance eyedropper in Camera Raw, if placed over an over exposed region, instead of the dialogue box popping up to warn that the area is too bright, the system just freezes. Have to launch task manager and close PS.
    If eyedropper is placed on non-over exposed (not clipped) area, it seems alright. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Bug report: Wrong As Shot White Balance for Nikon D50 NEF in Camera Raw 7, Lightroom 4

    For Nikon D50 cameras Adobe Creative Suite 6 does not read "As Shot" white balance data whether it's specified or not. It defaults to "Automatic". We have the problem only for Nikon D50 and only in Photoshop CS6, Adobe Camera Raw 7.3 and Photoshop Lightroom 4. (Not in CS5. Not for Nikon D5100 or D7000 or Canon S95) .
    There is a more detailed posting at photoshop.com.

  • Are there white balance presets - like in Camera Raw?

    Hi. I'm newer to Aperture, and when I'm editing photos, I'm wondering if there's a white balance preset, like in Adobe Camera Raw, that match my camera's white balance options (cloudy, flash, daylight, etc.). Is there something like that in Aperture that I can't find, or am I just regulated to the sliders?
    Thanks!

    they are not preinstalled, but you can easily make them. just shoot several images with your camera set to each white balance, then save all the settings in the white balance brick.

  • Setting White Balance in Camera RAW

    I have heard and read (what apppears to be) contrary information about using the White Balance Tool in Camera RAW.
    I have sometimes heard that I need to select a naturally white point (as opposed to a specular / highlight point); but I have also heard that I need to select a neutral gray point.
    I am wondering if it's either / or and that it all amounts to the same thing.
    Can anyone assist and explain the differences?

    You can use any area that has no colour contend regardless of its tonal value.  For instance you can use full black to se WB.  Note this is not the same as setting black and white points in ACR

  • Change preferences for Auto black/white point in Camera RAW

    Hey guys,
    By hold shift and clicking on the slider for whites Camera RAW automatically sets the white point, same goes for the black. However, it always gets pushed to 255 (white).
    Is there some way that you can edit this preference?

    I don't know, but somebody may know for sure over in the camera raw forum:

  • Setting White Points in Camera Raw

    When setting white points in Adobe Camera Raw, while holding down Alt (on a PC), are the red marks what I should look for? Because white marks also appear? Which ones are relevant for the white point?

    ACR doesn’t work that way.  There is an eyedropper for the overall white-balance that you can set by clicking on a relatively bright, neutral area, but there aren’t black and white-point eyedroppers.  But, what is clipped black or white is determined by the output colorspace you have set at the bottom and you can get some idea of what will be clipped black and white by turning on the clipping indicators and watching for the areas you’d be eye-droppering on (the black and white patches in your grayscale) to start showing the clipping color overlay for black and white, but any further toning adjustments will move data in and out of what is darker than black and lighter than white so what is clipped for output will change as you fiddle with the various toning sliders.
    The reason things are different:  In PS, when you set a black-point and white-point in Levels and click Ok, the data below and above those is thrown away and that is the starting point for the next adjustment.  In ACR, things are non-destructive and all the adjustments occur simultaneously, rather than sequentially as in PS, and no clipping occurs until you create the output file.  This means that the pixels that are darker than your black-point and lighter than your white-point are still there, and can be moved into the black-to-white range if you do further toning adjustments.  Having more headroom of the pixels that are outside the black-to-white range is good because you won’t get the posterization or banding that occurs when colors and levels are clipped after each adjustment in PS.
    Can you describe what you intend your overall workflow to be on an image:  how much adjusting will occur in ACR and how much, if any, might happen in PS, after the image is opened into PS from ACR, or opened from a file saved from ACR?  There might be other ways to approach what you’re trying to accomplish.
