Canon 5D MK II white balance set as K does not import correctly

With a 5D II and the Kelvin white balance set in the camera the WB does not import correctly for RAW files and LR 2.4. For example when set to a specified white balance as a Kelvin setting, for example 5200, and then import the raw files with "As Shot" specified or subsequently WB to "As Shot" in Develop module the white balance is set to 4850 +1 (in the example of 5200). The pre set WB options provided inthe camera do work correctly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thank you.

Lightroom does work correctly. The numbers are different, but the appearance ot the colour temperature matches. The way I understand it, cameras don't actually store Kelvin numbers, but store colour space co-ordinates instead. LR and your Canon are interpreting the RAW values into different colour spaces, so the kelvin values and tint numbers will differ.

  • White balance setting not importing from Canon 5D

    I shoot in RAW with 2 Canon 5Ds. On both bodies, the white balance is set to K (Kelvin temp) and is dialed to 5500. But when I import into Aperture, the white balance on the files is not at 5500 for either camera. One camera's files display a whte balance of 5102 with a tint of -16. The other, 5428 and -9. Sure, I know how to batch correct this manually after import, but is there a way I can get it right in the first place?

    That's normal. If you shoot RAW, Aperture will not care what white balance you set on the camera. Once it's imported, then Aperture will try to get the best WB (not sure the logarithm). If you want all your pictures to be 5500K, set one to be 5500K and then lift and stamp the rest.

  • 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!)

  • Image contains camera White Balance setting; LR 5.5 only shows "As Shot", "Auto", and "Custom"

    I have a new, Panasonic DMC-GX7. I shot a bunch of photos as JPGs. When viewing their Exif data using Exiftool, I can clearly see the camera's White Balance setting, as well as the Color Temp Kelvin, WB Red Level, WB Green Level, and WB Blue Level. However, Lightroom 5.5 only shows "As Shot", "Auto", and "Custom" when I click White Balance under Quick Develop on the Library tab or WB under Basic on the Develop tab. Exiftool shows the Exif Version as 0230 and the Panasonic Exif Version as 0405. Is LR looking for the white balance information in some other field? Do I need to configure it somehow for my camera? I am new to LR (but not to image processing), so could use some help figuring this out.

    The whole question is not so simple as converting to DNG. Yes DNG is openly documented, yes the file can be read, but that does not mean it can be correctly interpreted by other software in the future and the best you can then do is starting the PP of your images from scratch. Imagine a DNG with LR adjustments that in some years you open the file in another software, possibly non-Adobe. Even if the file can be read it will not look the same, as the Adobe specific developing instructions could not be strictly followed. Even if all software manufactures agreed on a common set of adjustments, let's say everybody had a Highlights slider and a Clarity slider and so on, which is unlikely, the results would still be different as the underlying algorithms would be different.
    Disclaimer: I only shoot raw and firmly believe it is the best option, but one must be conscious it has some shortcomings related to the future of our images.

  • Removing blue cast/tint from JPG (wrong white balance setting while taking picture)

    Hi,
    Photosohop newb here, still using CS3 (10.0), so please be patient.
    I was at a convention not long ago, where I took lots of pictures with my phone. I only noticed at home, that a few of the pictures came out with an intense blue cast because of a bad white balance setting (I must have accidentally changed it).
    I was trying to fix the image for the last 2 hours, with no real luck. I tried everything under Image -> Adjustments -> "Auto Color", "Color Levels" and "Match Color", moving the sliders up and down to get the best match. The best I could come up with was still far away from the other pictures I took the same day.
    Here is one of the bad pictures: http://imgur.com/vw12aTQ
    And here is one I took just a minute later with the "normal" setting: http://imgur.com/RMFm7fo
    I actually got a pretty good match by cutting out some of the cobblestones from both pictures and using "Match Color" -> "Source", but I couldn't apply this technique to the whole picture.
    Could somebody please help me to make the colors of the first picture similar to the second one?
    Thank you,
    Roland

    Here's an easy fix...
    Choose Image - Adjust - Curves, then click the Gray Point dropper and sample something in the image that should be a neutral gray - say one of the stones on the ground.  Click in various places until you like what you see.

  • Iphoto not recognizing my preset manual white balance setting on my Nikon D3100

    hi there.
    i've been using iPhoto to edit my photos uploaded as RAW, from my Nikon D3100.  While i've been very satisfied with the results, i've run across a small problem.  i've used various white balance settings on my camera:  incandescent, flourescent, auto white balance, and recently started using the manual white balance.  when uploading pictures to iphoto, the photo has indicated what white balance setting i have used, except when i use my manual white balance feature, the information shows up as AWB (automatic white balance).
    can somebody please explain to me why this is?  any other setting i use shows up with the appropriate icon, according to what i choos on my camera.  is this a glitch?  what is the manual white balance setting icon supposed to look like in iPhoto?
    Again, I shoot in RAW, and upload directly to iPhoto successfully, as RAW.

    I think this article will help explain this 
    and this one from Adobe
    — Raw files have not had while balance set. They are tagged with whatever the camera's setting was, (either that which was manually set or via auto-white-balance), but the actual data has not been changed. This allows one to set any colour temperature and white balance one wishes after the fact with no image degradation. It should be understood that once the file has been converted from the linear space and has had a gamma curve applied (such as in a JPG) white balance can no longer be properly done.
    So the displaed WB is simply a tag and has no effect on the image - it is simply information about the camera settings

    Hi,
    To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
    Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
    Give the datasource name, then the database name.
    You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
    There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
    It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
    Hope this helps...
    best wishes,

  • Getting Error message ""This set top box does not match the account settings"

    Just ordered a new wireless receiver for the bedroom. Installed it and now getting the following error "This set top box does not match the account settings". Service was suppose to be enabled on Monday the 4th, but I recieved the hardware early and turned it on. I've since rebooted and unplugged and tried everything to no avail. Any thoughts on how I might get this to work? Regards,  Rick

    your wireless receiver is misconfigured (dirty) and need to be scrubbed clean.
    A tech (service visit) or tier 2 rep (phone or chat) can do this. The receiver needs to be unplugged, on the bottom of receiver is a GUI (long number) that will be needed to identify receiver, when instructed plug just the receiver in that gave number for, when that one is connected.
    Your choice 4 hour appointment window, or time on phone , or chat.
    If these have not been activated yet.... When screen comes up, depress OK on receiver, depress button on WAP, when the screen at receiver says try again, Depress OK button (remote or on stb) another screen for update, depress OK give about 10 minutes to load, reboot when checking depress menu to verify recordings, if no recordings menu not finished booting.
    Set aspect ratio MENU, OPTIONS, etc.
    should take about 20 minutes per receiver.

  • The cumulative balance displayed in FS10N does not match the sum of the det

    Hello,
    The cumulative balance displayed in FS10N does not match the sum of the details.  For example, we have a GL disbursement account that has a ***. Balance of 8 million.  The debit is 2 million and the credit is 10 million. But, when you drill down on the ***. Bal. for the current period, the sum of the details is 9 million.  According to our users, the 2 balances should equal.  I did a search in this forum and found 1 post stating they had the same issue and the answer was to run f.16. Has anyone experienced this and if so, how did you handle it?  I'm not sure how f.16 functions.  Do we have to run it for each consecutive year?  I'm not a FI specialist.  I'm responsible for data archiving and the users think it's related to archiving.  However, we have a test system that was resynced with production prior to when archiving was done and it shows that this issue is pre-existing.
    Thank you very much in advance,

    Hello,
    There is a possibility that you have activate line item display for some of the accounts at a later stage. Meaning that earlier postings were not be shown for the earlier postings but only totals will be made available. Therefore, obviously there is bound to be difference between line item report and totals report.
    You need to identify which accounts are being changed with line item display at a later stage.
    In case if you forget to keep GL Line item display for an account, but the posting are already made the following steps you would required to get the line item display retrospectively.
    1. Note that you are NOT required to make the balance of that GL account to ZERO. Please do not confuse with Open Item Management.
    2. Put the check box line item display for the account in FS00. Make sure you are entering right company code.
    3. Block the account for posting in COA Segment and Company Code Segment in FS00
    4. Go to SA38 and run program RFSEPA01 (Give correct GL Account and Company Code)
    5. Now, remove the block you kept on the GL Account in FS00.
    This will reset the line item display retrospectively.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

    Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
    If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

    Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

    If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.
    Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.
    Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad.

  • Correcting wrong white balance setting in RAW .CR2 photo

    I set my camera custom white balance incorrectly and took a days worth of photos in RAW mode. When imported into iPhoto they have terrible coloring (as expected). iPhoto does not seem to have a WB adjustment (Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, etc.), so i opened the .CR2 files with Canon Photo Professional and changed the WB setting for the photos to 'AUTO' correct colors and saved. When i import them back into iPhoto, the while balance is unchanged (but when i re-open them in Canon P P they have correct color). Does anyone know how to get iPhoto to import with this modified WB setting?
    Source: Canon 20D RAW format
    Thanks for any help!

    You would need to export the files from DPP as tiffs or something similar. There is no way iPhoto will see the adjustment by DPP otherwise.
    For White Balance in iPhoto check out the Temperature and Tint pane in the Adjustments - check out the eye dropper.
