Cannot get white-balance correction to work

I have some diving video that needs white balance correction.  I am trying out the PE11 trial.
I've tried smart-fix as well as the 3-way correction tool.  I've used the dropper to select something that should be white, but it makes little to no difference.
Any ideas why ?

As an experiment I went for another dive today, this time taking the same camera (Canon S110 with underwater white balance mode active) as well as a GoPro with a red filter.  The video from the GoPro seems to have much more colour in it so I think it's a case of the Canon not capturing as much of that spectrum.  I'll do another dive tomorrow and manually set the white balance to see if it makes any difference.  I'm so use to shooting on the GoPro that I was surprised by the reduced colour in the Canon.
Is there any way to determine how much of red / green / blue is available in the video using PE11 ?
Thanks for the reply.

  • Lightroom: Why does auto white balance no longer work after changing the camera calibration profile?

    I'm using NEF raw files from Nikon.
    Lets say for example I import a NEF file into Lightroom (v4) and click on 'auto' for white balance. The white balance in the image is  adjusted correctly (somewhat). However, if I then change the camera profile (in the camera calibration section) from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard' then the white balance in the image becomes very wrong. I then have to set the white balance back to 'as shot' and correct it manually instead.
    Why would 'auto white balance' no longer work just because I change the profile from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard'?
    Any ideas?

    Works as expected here...
    Which Lr version and what OS??

  • Loss of white balance correction

    I just returned from a dive trip. In addition to cropping, adjusting the exposure and cropping, I use the white balance feature to correct the color of photos taken without a flash at depth. I uploaded my cards to my MacBook Pro (both the laptop and my Mac Pro are running Aperture 2.1.3), and edited these images. When I got home, I exported the project (like I always do), and imported it into my main Aperture library on my Mac Pro.
    When I review these images, the color-corrected previews are seen in the Browser. When I click on an image, the color-corrected preview is shown in full size on my second, 30" Cinema Display while the RAW image is loading. However, once the full image is loaded, the white balance reverts to the original - but the levels and cropping are maintained! I can re-do the white balance correction, but once I quit and restart Aperture again, the white balance correction is again lost - but not my other edits! Thus, not only were the white balance corrections done on my laptop lost when I exported/imported the project, the repeat corrections done on my MacPro are lost when I quit and restart Aperture.
    Curiously, after I've re-done the white balance on several images and quit, when I restart Aperture there is no indication that there are any images or projects that haven't been backed up in a vault.
    This has never happened before when I would import a project; the last time I successfully imported a project with all of its adjustments maintained was February (I don't recall when 2.1.3 came out). I've searched this forum to no avail; has anyone else experienced this?

    I've the x-rite passport and I can say only a thing:
    Color correction seems to be an opinion!
    With Aperture (and Canon RAW) with only white balance you will get an image very very close to the result with x-rite calibrated DNG and Adobe Camera Raw, but...
    In both case Colors are very outside of reality!
    Adobe Camera RAW and Canon DPP give other different "crazy opinion" on blues reds and greens, and the only program that I found go very closer to reality seems to be CaptureOne.
    In my tests I've used two 5600°K Bowens lights to take a photo of x-rite passport and I've tried to compare it with the official datasheets from xrite:
    http://xritephoto.com/phproductoverview.aspx?ID=1257&Action=Support&SupportID=5159
    Seems very difficult to get real colors from the same RAW file, and every software give a personal opinion from the same data (?!)

  • LR 1.2 - white balance dropper not working

    When I click the white balance dropper, I get the magnifying glass. When I move it, the white balance in the navigator updates real time but if I click on my image it zooms instead of setting white balance. This worked fine with 1.1.
    Should I uninstall 1.2 and reinstall 1.1? I'm not sure how to go back to 1.1.

    I've had that happen a couple of times for no obvious reasons. I've also noted some general 'cursor confusion' but, again, I can't cause the problem.
    It's a minor annoyance.

  • Cannot get the Oilpaint Filter to work

    I own CS6 and just downloaded the Photoshop CC trial version.  I cannot get the oilpaint filter to work in either.  I must be missing something.  When I open a photo, select filters and then oilpaint - all I get is the grey screen (with the oilpaint tools).  But no photo is there for me to apply the filter effect.  Any idea what I am missing?

  • I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with VPN provider.

    I cannot get my iPad 2 to work with my VPN service provider.  Using OS 4.3.3.  iPad purchased in the USA.  Have heard there are issues with iPad 2 and VPN support.  Any suggestions?

    You can try this ... hold down on the sleep button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo on the screen, release the buttons and see if the iPad restarts and you can use it.

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again.
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

    I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap. I am trying to export 33 PSD files in BRIDGE to a PDF like I used to do on my other computer with bridge.

    Let's start with the general things.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    Thanks

    Hi. If the speakers are using a standard 3.5mm plug, they need to be plugged into the headphone jack. Please clarify which jack you are using.

    I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    Hi Pat,
    I usually don’t have trouble explaining my problems, but this one is confusing the heck out of me.  I just downloaded Reader 11.  It is installed, I believe.  This is the first time Reader has not worked for me after upgrading to a newer version.  I’ve been reading PDF files forever, but tonight when I went to read a pdf file that I received today, I clicked on the file, expecting Reader to open up and it never did.  Then I tried to read some older pdf files and nothing happened when I tried to open the file.  I’ve been using Acrobat Reader for years so that’s why I’m so confused.
    I downloaded the file from the adobe.com website. and everything seemed to be fine.  My question is indeed vague, but I don’t know any other way to explain what happened.  Should I uninstall and start over??
    Thanks, Elaine

  • 1.01--white Balance still not working?

    the white balance tool in 1.01 seems better, but still not right. Every other white balance tool, you click on a pixel/area, and the tool turns that area neutral, eg. the RG and b channels are the same, and adjusts the rest of the image. In aperture it appears to do something else. not even the pixel under the tool ends up neutral, whether you're using the digital color meter, or whether you open it in psd and check there.
    am i doing something wrong? or is this thing still not right?

    Nope - it is still not right.
    In CS1 to CS2 the big improvement was the "smart sampling" of the colour picker. It seemed to make the best calculatiuons of the 3x3 pixel region.
    The fix has improved the quality (particularly the tint, but not the temperature as much). It is still really difficult to create a stamp for several white balance adjustments that works as it is too much by eye. Whereas with 1.0 I used ACR and re-imported, I can now use Aperture for 50% of the sodium lighting adjustments.
