Can I keyframe white balance?

I have a piece of footage that shifts white balance during the shot and i need to be able to keyframe the change as it happens, but the color panel does not allow me to do this? i know i can do it with hue/saturation filter but it's just not accurate enough. does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks...

I know, i was hoping the color correction would move more towards photoshop, not coral draw! no levels keyframe or even brightness contrast.. just hue/saturation and a bunch a useless funky dunky filters! I had a sweet spot a few hours ago where i thought i might be able to get things done on this and as soon as i got serious the app just cracked and fell about my feet on the floor. really don't want to go back to 7 but i think i'm going to have to. they've basically designed it for third party products to make money selling through the app store, and they're not out yet.

  • The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone from my toolbar.  How can I get it back?

    The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone form my toolbar.  How can I get it back?

    Your basic panel must have been accidentally deselected.
    Simply right-click on one of the other panels e.g. Tone Curve and choose basic again - see image below.
    You can also select solo mode, if you prefer to work in one panel at a time with the others collapsing automatically when you click on another tab.

  • Can you make white balance/exposure adjustments on top of current adjustments across multiple shots?

    Hi There,
    We have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
    Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
    Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.
    Hope that makes sense - is this possible in Lightroom?
    Cheers

    Quick Develop is for artists, not scientists/engineers - sounds like you know how to use it.
    Ya know, some people use Lr with the histogram closed so as not to get distracted by the technical aspects. I could adjust an image using the histogram only, without looking at the image!
    FWIW, amount of temp/tint per increment is fixed for RGB files. I never figured out how it decides the increment for raws, but I'd very much like to know it, in order to normalize relative adjustments when a mix of raw & rgb files are selected.
    PS - I think the original philosophy was:
    1. After importing, take a quick-dev pass in lib module and adjust all the basics in the ball-park, then:
    2. Fine tune in dev module one by one, if need be and schedule allows... (yes I know there is auto-sync in dev module, but it adjust things absolutely, and the context of this discussion is relative adjustment).
    Via that workflow, there's not so much switching back and forth between lib & dev modules for access to the quick-dev panel during development.
    FWIW, it doesn't suit me well-enough either, which is why I invented Gazoo .

  • Adobe Bridge - White balance metadata

    When I browse raw files from my Canon EOS Rebel XT/350D in Adobe Bridge I always look at the Metadata tab to check for the f-stop value, speed, white balance settings, etc. of the currently-selected raw image file.
    I noticed that the pictures shot in Automatic White Balance appear on the upper-left portion of the Metadata tab as an icon indicating AWB. However, whenever I take pictures with manually-set white balances, such as shade, day light, tungsten, etc., the metadata tab no longer indicates the white balance I chose, instead, it either shows an icon of a camera or two dashes, as in --.
    Is there any way I can set Adobe Bridge to show the appropriate White Balance icon for pictures I take with manually-set white balances?

    Hi Curt,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, White Balance is checked in preferences/metadata. All of the Exposure metadata entries are also checked.
    I forgot to mention that my version of Camera Raw is 4.5 (the latest).
    You know, although White Balance is checked, I cannot find a White Balance text entry on any of the metadata lists (File properties, IPTC core, Camera Data (EXIF), etc.). The only place where I can see the White Balance setting in on the upper left corner of the Metadata tab, under the f-stop value.
    Here is a personal question for you: When you browse your pictures in Adobe Bridge and you select one that was taken with a specific White Balance (not Auto), does your Adobe Bridge display an icon for that particular White Balance setting? I just want to eliminate the possibility that this happening only in my computer.
    Thanks a lot for your time and attention.

  • Another white balance presets/settings question

    (this is related to two other posts regarding white balance presets, but didn't want to hijack those threads with my own specific questions...)
    i've got a canon s70, and have been messing around with a friends copy of aperture. the raw files of my camera are recognized (though the aperture camera support page identifies it as not optimized support), but the problem is that the white balance settings in camera are ignored.
    when i view a raw file from my camera in aperture, the exif data shows that it is recognizing different white balance settings (various numbers are displayed here, for example, 1 for auto, 3 for tungsten, 6 for manual, etc). however, the temp. and tint settings are the same for all the images, regardless of wb setting (5278K temp, -18 tint).
    so, here are my questions:
    - is there any setting i'm missing that would let aperture correctly interpet the wb temp for a specific setting? in another thread regarding canon cameras and wb someone stated that aperture reads wb 'as shot', but it seems odd that it would recognize these different wb settings but apply the same temp and tint calculations across the board.
    -i noticed that i can create white balance presets and apply them manually. i was wondering if it's possible to apply preset wb settings automatically. for example, is it possible to create an approximate wb setting for 'tungsten' (3), and then have it applied to all images with the '3' setting, either automatically on/immediately after import, or through an applescript or automator action?
    while i could use lightroom, atm lightroom is lacking some features that i crucial to my wider image management/workflow needs (though it does correctly interpret my white balance settings). aperture seems like the best bet for me, but i would rather not go through my library of raw files and manually change the wb settings for each image.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't know about your other white balance issue, but yes, you can apply a white balance to a selection of images.
    Create a set of WB presets (one for daylight, cloudy, fluorescent, tungsten etc.). This takes moments and will be available on any future occasion.
    Select and apply your WB preset to an image
    Fine tune as needed (since in-camera auto white balance or presets often do not nail it)
    Select Lift/Stamp tool
    Click on your adjusted image
    In the Lift/Stamp HUD, deselect all adjustments except the WB
    Select all target images
    Click "Stamp Selected Images" button in the Lift/Stamp HUD

  • Why is there no white balance info in 3.3.1?

    I want to transfer my iPhoto library over to Aperture, but am reluctant to do so until I have familiarised myself with the new program. (I have over 23,000 photos in iPhoto!)
    As a start, I have imported a few of my recent photos from iPhoto so that I can find my way around Aperture. One thing puzzles me. I can see the white balance information for each photo in iPhoto but the white balance field is greyed out in the Aperture metadata, and there is no 'cloud' or 'sun' picture at the top right of the Info panel, even though the white balance field is ticked in the Metadata Fields panels for Exif Info and Camera Info. I really need to know which camera setting I used for each photo to help me learn how to take better photos, but as far as I can see the information is not available to me anywhere in Aperture.
    I have performed Aperture Library First Aid (repaired permissions and database, and rebuilt database) but the problem still exists. I can't find anything anywhere on the internet or in Apple Support that mentions this problem. Does anyone have any ideas for me please?

    Sorry, I see you are referring to the Info and not the Adjustment.
    Since I am seeing both in each program, I am not sure which may be the culprit.
    You could try launching Aperture while depressing the 'Option' key and creating a new test library (Create New.. button). Then export some original files from iPhoto to say the desktop > import into the Aperture test library to see if the information shows up.
    If you now see the info, then there may be something going on with iPhoto that is preventing the transfer. If this is the case, you might try the iPhoto discussions since the usual helpers would know more than I about fixing a potential iPhoto library issue.
    Otherwise, wait for someone more knowledgable than I to help here as I am not sure what would cause that if iPhoto isn't (and since you have already used the Aperture First Aid).

  • Problem transferring white balance Exif info from iPhoto to Aperture

    Well, Terence, it duly showed up the white balance data when I shot a Raw photo. But I don't understand why Aperture recognises white balance for Raw but won't show it for Jpegs, whereas iPhoto recognises both.

  • 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 exposure and white balance in LR?

    I'm fairly new to digital photography and want to start using LR for more than just tagging my images. I currently shoot with a 5DM3 at the highest .jpg quality settings.
    1. Can I adjust white balance for .jpg files in LR? OR does it really need to be done with a RAW format file?
    2. Can I adjust exposure compensation for .jpg files in LR? OR does it really need to be done with a RAW format file?
    3. If I can fully adjust the white balance and exposure compensation in LR for a .jpg or RAW file, is there any real benefit to doing it in camera? Will you achieve the same quality level doing it in LR vs. in camera? Are there any downsides to doing it in LR vs. in camera?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can adjust white balance on .jpg files. There will be two differences. For a raw file the adjustment scale will be along an absolute temperature scale so you can set, for example, an exact 6500K white balance. For a JPEG the adjustment scale is relative because the white balance is already baked into the file. The other difference is that with raw, you will be able to push white balance much further from the current setting before the image starts to fall apart.
    southwestform wrote:
    2. Can I adjust exposure compensation for .jpg files in LR? OR does it really need to be done with a RAW format file?
    Similar answer. You can adjust exposure up and down for a JPEG, but you will find a much narrower range of adjustment before the image visibly degrades. It will be easier to darken the image than to lighten it. When you increase exposure on a JPEG, shadows you lightened will look much worse a lot faster than with a raw file.

    The problem in any editor (not just Lightroom) is that your files, raw or JPEG, have been limited by the dynamic range of the sensor in the camera. You can't "fully" make adjustments if the camera can't "fully" record the scene in the first place. If you want to make a +4 EV adjustment to an image and you do it in camera, the image data is in the sweet spot of the sensor and it's going to look great. If you don't adjust in camera and you expect to make the +4 EV adjustment in an image editor, you are going to try to push a lot of shadow data up into the lighter tones. The shadow data is the lowest quality, so lightening it will reveal noise and banding. In addition, if your camera doesn't have enough dynamic range, the camera might not even record down far enough for you to pull off a +4 EV adjustment in software. The better sensor you have, the more likely you can make big adjustments and like the result.
    Raw just gives you more room to make mistakes. It is always better to try and get it right in camera.

  • White balance - how to make a seamless transition?

    I recently shot a wedding video and at the end of the night, the bride and groom ran from the reception hall out to the main lobby as the DJ played "Hit the Road, Jack."
    My question is this - the reception hall is darkly lit, with tungsten balanced lights and other things coming off of strobes. The lobby is lit by tungsten lights. I can use the razor blade tool to chop the clip and set a new white balance for the lobby area, but there is a color shift that you can see, or at least I can, when the white balance changes between the two areas. Is there a way to make this transition seamless, or is it better just to leave it be as to the way the camera shot and balanced things?

  • Changing RAW White Balance

    I just bought a Canon S95 and am playing around with shooting in RAW.
    I know when you shoot that the camera writes the selected white balance mode or white balance setting into the file, and then iPhoto sees that when it is imported. What I am wondering is if there is any way to change that setting to another preset. For example in Canon's Digital Photo Professional software you can select any White Balance preset or use the one the camera wrote to the .cr2 file. Can you do that in iPhoto, or can you just adjust it using the Temperature and Tint sliders in the edit pane? Thanks.

    You just change the slide for temperature.
    I tested it not that long ago taking a few photos with different in camera WB settings because I wanted to see if iPhoto actually imports them and adjusts the slider to that position or if the slider is always in the middle regardless of the WB setting. I confirmed that when imported, the slider will be set/moved to whatever the RAW file says the camera was set for or will set it to the extreme if your camera goes further (e.g. if you camera can be set for 14k, then the slider will max out at 10k in iPhoto.
    You might try taking a photo with each of the standard presets on your camera then simply note what setting on the slider it is when imported to iPhoto for future reference.

  • New to RAW, White balance question

    I've been using Lightroom for years, but with my camera outputting JPG images only. I've now started working with RAW (NEF) files from my D90 recently, and am having newbie's difficulties.
    LR 2.6, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iMac 24" 2.8GHz
    The problem that brings me here is that I just did a shoot without setting a white balance. Shot JPG & NEF, and I see that Lightroom is extrapolating the AWB values the camera came up with onto the NEF files "As Shot". For a series of similar images I have found a white balance that seems to work. I set that on my chosen image, shift-select the rest, and attempt to SYNC white balance to the other images.
    It doesn't take. WB's remain "As Shot" for the other images, and all over the place, following the camera. Expanding the items synced to include "Treatment (Color)" doesn't help.
    How can I "Sync" white balance with NEF files, please?
    Many thanks in advance.

    So Lightroom is essentially applying an "Auto WB" on its own when displaying images "As Shot"?
    ON EDIT: I ask this because every image has a different, individual "As Shot" WB when first seen in Lightroom.
    Hardly seems "As Shot" if LR is going in and altering the WB right off the bat.

    The white balance information that Nikon knows about is not information that Lightroom uses.
    Camera Raw and Lightroom use Adobe's method of profiling the camera which is different from Nikon's. So you won't get an exact match, however Adobe provide a set of profiles which are intended to match as closely as possible the Camera looks - these are in Develop > Camera Calibration
    If you find there are a certain set of adjustments that you repeatedly make then save them as a Preset and you can apply them to a batch of images or on import. (These can include White Balance settings and Calibrations and Profiles).

  • 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 Bridge report in-camera settings for White Balance?

    No matter what settings I choose in Bridge Preferences, I cannot get it to tell me what was the White Balance (WB) setting of the camera when raw images were shot.
    This seems an odd omission because Camera Raw is passed this information and displays images correctly, although it doesn't report what WB value it was given, only that what you are viewing, prior to any editing, is the default "As Shot".
    I'm referring to raw files shot on my Canon 300D, Nikon D700 and Canon 5D Mark II.
    Currently I'm using PsCS6 (13.0.1.2 x64), Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4 x64) and ACR 8.1 on a Windows 7 x64 8GB system, but the same omission existed on the same Windows system with ACR 7.x in CS6 and all releases of PsCS5, Bridge CS5 and ACR 6.6 and 6.7.
    On the opening dialog of Bridge Preferences, at the bottom you can choose whether or not you wish to 'Hide Empty Fields'. Selecting or unselecting this option does not have any effect upon Bridge's inability to report WB when, from within Bridge, you select File Info from the File menu or by hitting Ctrl + I.
    The only locations in Bridge Preferences I can find that need selection (and which I have selected) for Bridge to supply WB information upon invoking File Info are here:
    Preferences\Metadata\Camera Data (Exif)\White Balance; and
    Preferences\Metadata\Camera Raw\White Balance
    I have also selected Preferences\Metadata\File Properties\Supports XMP, and yet Bridge fails to give the in-camera WB in the Camera Data tab of File Info.
    I have been able to locate references to WB in the following tabs of File Info:
    File Info\Advanced, where there appears, under the sub-tab 'Exif Properties (http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0)', an entry such as 'exif:White Balance:1'; and
    File Info\Raw Data an entry such as '<exif:White Balance >1< /exif:White Balance>'.
    However, these are just code numbers, not names like 'Cloudy' or 'Shade', and they are not only inconsistent (both showing the code 1 for an unedited image I know was shot with Auto WB and another unedited image I know was shot with Flash WB) but also it would appear that the codes may refer to the WB as modified by ACR - because an image I know had its in-camera WB of Auto altered in ACR shows a code of 'Custom' rather than 0, 1 or some other number.
    So what am I missing? Does anyone know how to make Bridge Preferences display the in-camera setting for WB, and if so, under which tab of File Info do you look for the answer once you have set up Preferences properly?

    Just corrected my current Photoshop version

    I'm afraid that you just haven't addressed the question that I asked in my original post.
    I still like to think I have but if you for whatever reason need this info showing in the metadata you probably be better of trying to alter it your self or find a way to address Paul personally (maybe via a private message).
    I have not heard from him for a long time and a small google search provided me with this forum post, hope it helps you, maybe you can also persuaded Paul to come back, he is very missed!

  • How can I turn off Automatic White Balance/Correction?

    Hi,
    I shoot color Infra-Red images. White Balance is handled in Camera - and then in Photoshop. As a new user to Lightroom 2 - everytime I view/click on an image in the Library - the color/balance of the image changes to a deep red, and I lose all of the vivid colors that I had from the original image. The files are Nikon NEF RAW - and I am looking for a way to turn this automatic change in colors off. Can anyone help?
    Thanks and have a great weekend !!!
    Dave

    Hal,
    I have a Nikon D-70 that has the Lifepixel infra-red conversion. Take a look at their website and you can see the great color infra-red pictures that you can take with this converted camera. So there is my problem - I can set the camera at a PRE White-Balance and shoot Cyan/Blue/Green photos - and then import them into Lightroom. I see the photos in the Library - but as I click on them to view them, they change color to Red. Now if I set up the camera to take White Balance as Auto - or pretty much anything else other than the PRE (for which I can adjust), I will also get a Red photo. Red is OK if you want to convert to B+W - but if you want to retain all of the colors, I need to keep the color that the camera shot - without Lightroom changing them. I looked at the history - and only have an import/date. Other than clicking on it to view - no changes have been applied by me - yet. I will try to shoot them as jpg's - the ones I am working with right now were shot in the summer. We have -20 Deg. C. here right now - so Infra Red camera is in bag - have no green leaves to shoot. Looking through preferences and settings to see if I can find a "turn-off"....... Actually - let me load the photos with Bridge and see what they look like there..........
