Correcting White Balance with no white in shot

Does anyone have any tips for correcting white balance when the footage has no white objects to act as a reference? This was the classic mistake of shooting outdoors with an indoor setting. We were rushing to utilise a gap in the rain!
Also, is there any way to tell Premiere how to correct WB via a sort of colour matching, by pointing it towards a correctly white balanced still of the scene?
Thanks
Davyd

This is a really tricky thing. There's a lot of ways to approach it. I had similar problems with a WB correction mismatch between presets on my 7D and 70D. No white in either shot.
I exported a few frames in to PS first to get a rough idea with what I was dealing with.
Use the Info window to check something grey.
Alternately, if there is nothing grey, you can use skin tone patches. This is a common tool used by skin retouchers in PS. Grab a small sample or two from the desired skin tones, either from a 5x5 grab with the eyedropper or just grabbing a small section with the lasso tool and Gaussian Blurring that to heck and back. Once you get a bit of a palette of skin tones you like, you can use that as a reference for your work with the Fast Color Corrector.
To be honest, I feel the FCC is a little underpowered and I wish I had my AAVC 6 Channel HSL tool from Vegas when color correcting.
As a Photoshop geek, I am a little uncomfortable with the video color correction toolset.
To export a frame, click on the viewing panel and hit Ctrl-Shift-E.
Try opening the frames in Adobe Camera Raw and you can get some temp and tint values that can also help you with your Prem Pro toolset.
Remember to watch out for channel clipping when making dramatic changes in WB.

Correcting white balance

I set my white balance wrong for an interior shot. The walls should be white but they are now yellow. Is there a filter or procedure other than the Color Corrector that would give me almost true whites? Something such as a selective color tool where I could select only certain colors and change their hue/saturation etc?
Thanks

>I don't think correcting color temperature is something you'd do with masks.
Certainly not Mr G., just advising how to do a selective color adjustment as per the latter part of the question "Is there ... something such as a selective color tool where I could select only certain colors and change their hue/saturation etc?".
Tacbob, chances are, for a simple white balance issue the built in auto analysis may be all you need, tho its a bit hit and miss and may affect your image in other ways that you didn't want (eg contast and brightness). Otherwise (or to correct for unwanted side affects) for overall color balance adjustmentments you can just use the Color Board (without masks) to affect a global correction by adjusting accordingly ... for example, if the shot is too warm you can move the color tab's Global control to the lower area of the yellow/orange section of the Color Board to subtract some of that unwanted warmth (or if it's too cool then you can move it similarly but to the blue area of the board). Similar controls in the Exposure tab will let you adjust the Contrast / Brightness. Likewise for color saturation in the Saturation tab. Have a read through the info at the link Goldfish provided ... and don't be afarid to poke about a bit, the tools may seem confusing at first but its all non-destructive and a bit of practice is all you need.
Good luck

Correct white balance

I just join new job. They taped big project with white wall. Three cameras. Two of them are same and one new camera. I am not sure which camcorders but I see those two cameras are apparently off white balance (slight yellow) while new camera show look great. I am not familiar with color corrections. It got me confused which ones that I should adjust for white balance correction like level controls highlighs mids blacks, color balance, color controls.. all those... not sure which is good to correct white balance. Hope that I am able to match with one look so white and great colors.

Try the Magic Wand.
Turn the CC to Visual mode, that's where you see the colour wheels.
At about seven o'clock on the Balance wheel is a little eye dropper.
Here's how to do it:
Have the clip edited into the Timeline then place your playhead over that clip.
Open this clip (the one in the Timeline that needs to be corrected) into the Viewer. Okay, what you have is the same clip being diplayed in the Viewer and Canvas. This is so when color corrections are made in the Viewer you can see the changes in the Canvas straight away. You know if things going the right way or not.
Drag the Color Corrector from the Browser>Effects>Video Filters>Color Correction>Color Corrector and drop it on the Viewer.
A Color Corrector Tab will be available on the Viewer.
Click the Color Corrector Tab and the CC Filter appears.
Click the eye dropper and move the cursor over the Canvas, the cursor should look like an eye dropper if all is well.
Find something that should be WHITE in the Canvas, place the eye dropper over this and click on it. Instant balance correction can be seen in the Canvas.
If this doesn't work then you can use the wheels manually to change the balance.

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!

Our EFFECT COLOUR CORRECTION COLOUR BALANCE feature doesn't work on solids. Any clues?

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend troubleshoot a light sabre effect. He has followed a series of instructions from the net, but no matter what we try the solid will not change colour using the EFFECT > COLOUR CORRECTION > COLOUR BALANCE feature on the layer.
On the linked page is the file + full instructions:
http://beyondthewallmedia.com/?q=aftereffectsproblem
Could someone more experienced with After Effects please help us out and tell us why this feature isn't working in this project?
"Using your mouse to slide the numbers, drag the 3 “Blue Balance” labels to the right, up to 100 is you wish. This should start to change your glowing white lightsabre into a blue one. Play around with it, till you have the colour you want. You can slide the “Red” and “Green” Balance labels to the left to lessen their effect too."
Would really value someone taking a look at this for us. Thanks.

I agree with Mylenium. There are some serious flaws in the instructions. With no colour in the solid, Color Balance will have no effect.
But your project is also incorrectly built, according to the instructions: you've duplicated the mask 5 times, rather than the layer.
In the precomp, make your solid blue, with just one feathered mask, duplicate the layer 3-5 times, switch all to Add transfer mode.

How to correct opening balance

Hi Experts,
I have to correct my opening balances of items, unfortunately i make some mistake while entering the opening balance of items(e.g i entered the wrong quantity of many items which i have to correct).
plz give me some solution to correct it..
Regards

Hi
Yes you can correct opening balance of Items, if you have not issued that items for consumption.
Open a old period and use Goods Receipt and Goods Issue option for the same.
For example.
Item A you have entered opening balance qty is 10 and your correct qty is 12 for this do goods receipt entry in last date of (3st March) previous period for Qty 2 with same price.
Item B you have entered opening balance qty is 12 and your correct qty is 10 for this do goods issue entry in previous period for Qty 2 with same price.
I have faced lots of issues entering item opening balance through Initial Quantities functionality.
So for my all new customer, I prefer to enter Item opening balance through Goods Receipt in previous period.
I hope this solution will help you.

CF 10 Load-Balancing with Remote Instances

I was reading an article on Clustering/LB/HA using CF8, but have not found any updates for CF10.
Using VM VirtualBox to setup a few virtual servers, I am looking to setup a load balancing of ColdFusion 10 on 2 remote instances. The goal would be have ColdFusion Cluster Manager be able to point http request to one of the two servers based on load/availability. Not really having a hardware cluster/failover setup, just managing resources on two CF instances instead of a standalone.
The servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7.5 and ColdFusion 10 Enterprise on installed on 3 of these machines. Let's call them CF-LBManager, CF-Web1, and CF-Web 2. In the CF Docs, they show the Cluster Manager adding the local CF instance and "if you want" a remote instance. However, this scenario would require the main instance to be running and not fail for it to direct to the other instance.
I am trying to set this up now with CF-LBManager as just a manager of the requests coming in. In the Enterprise Manager >> Instance Manager, the local instance is shown and I add the two remote instances with the correct Remote Port, JVM Route, etc. I also made sure the <Cluster>...</Cluster> block was added to the two remote instances (CF-Web1 and CF-Web2) \runtime\conf\server.xml file too, Jetty Services also is running. Now under the Enterprise Manager >> Cluster Manager I add the two remote instances to the cluster, not the local instance on CF-LBManager with Multicast Port and Sticky Sessions enabled. On Submit, I get a green message "You must restart all the server instances and any configured webservers for these changes to take effect.". I go ahead and reboot the servers and come back.
I now browse to the ColdFusion page as a test on CF-Web1 and CF-Web2 to make sure CF is running properly, they do. I then browse the IP of the CF-LBManager, however it only returns the local IIS web site and not redirect to one of the two cluster members. I am not seeing any message on the coldfusion-out.log on the remote instances. Am I not setting this up correctly or not enabling the Cluster Manager to take over and pass along the requests to those in the cluster?

Unfortunatley I don't have a lot of experience with CF10 on Windows, but if you are running CF behind IIS I think you will need to update the Tomcat connector configuraiton to do load balancing. I'm not sure if re-running the wsconfig tool on all of the servers will do this or not, but that is what I would suggest trying first. If that doesn't work you will need to update the Tomcat connector configuraiton manually. You can find more information on load balancing with the Tomcat connector here: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/loadbalancers.html.

The option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign" was not activated.

I've encountered with a huge problem after load opening balance.
I forgot to tick the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign"
It makes my client's Chart of Account uncommon such as credit balance in Cash Account, AR .....
However, I've search the sap note to solve it as follow:
Description of the bug::
When creating the company in the system the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign' was not activated.
Once transactions were created in the system the functionality can not be changed.
Limits of the query:
After running the update query, please restart SBO first and then run the restore 'GL account and bp balances';
otherwise, the cashed value of SBO will not be updated and restore function may not take effect.
1. Meaning of restart SBO => restart SBO Service Manager right?
2. Please help me please to find "The restore G/L account and bp balances" form. Where is it?;
Thank you

Hi,
I would think that you are following the PEQ instructions for note 970813, correct?
If this is the case and you are using 2007 then you will find the restorev in the top menu; Help -> Support Desk -> Restore. You will find the functions here. Please note that this should only be used on direct instruction from support or a note like in this case. A backup should also be taken before running restore.

ACE 4710 and load balancing with sticky cookie

Configuring load balancing with SSL termination and stickiness for a couple of citrix xenapp servers. I'm doing a source-NAT as the ACE resides in the DMZ and these particular servers reside on the inside arm of the firewall. The ACE is in bridged mode to load balance web servers that reside in the DMZ. Everything seems to work just fine, but the cookie stickiness does not seem to be working.

Hi David,
As you may know, using Wireshark to look at an HTTPS capture is only useful if you've installed the server SSL key.This is why I find it easier to use something like LiveHTTPHeaders or HTTPWatch.
When using cookie-insert, the ACE will not create any dynamic cookie entries. It will simply create one static entry for each rserver with a cookie value, such as R3911631338, and any client that gets load balanced to that rserver will receive a cookie with that value. So what you see there is what is expected.
You are correct in that when using location cookies that the server supplies, the ACE will create a dynamic entry when it sees the server response with the cookie. The cookie is included in the server's response, and the ACE will look for the value as configured. The cookie will also be sent to the client. If the cookie is not in the server's first response, you will need enable persistence-rebalance so that it will look in subsequent server responses. If the browser opens new connections with that cookie, then the ACE will stick to the same server.
My suggestion would be to get sticky working with cookie-insert first. Then if that meets your needs, go with that permanently. If you need to use server cookies, then once cookie insert is working, migrate your sticky to cookie location.

Update Next Shift opeing balance with current shift closing balance

hi,
I have an aggregation table which have shiftwise, productwise, warehouse wise stock data. i want update the next shift opening balance with current shift closing balance.
My table is
ID          ShiftDate         ShiftNumber   ProductID   OpeningBalance Inward Outward ClosingBalance WarehouseID
1             2014-07-02         1                  1
0                   50           20
30                1
2             2014-07-02          2                 1
50                   0              0
50               1
Actually my aggregation is already run and update the table like above. But after that user done a transaction and accounted in the first shift. So i need to reupdate the data after the accountshift. I update the outward and closing balance so the closing
balance of first shift is correct.
Now i want update opening balance of second shift needs to be updated based on the corresponding closing balance of the shift 1.
Please guide me for this. I can pass ShiftData and ShiftNumber as '2014-07-02' and 1 respectively.

Which is sql server version you'e using? If its sql 2012, you can use PARTITION BY with RANGE BETWEEN for this.
Otherwise you need to use a correlated subquery logic using APPLY

Runtime error - FBL1N - vendor balance with customer line item

Hi gurus,
One scenario where i have assign vendor as customer & customer as vendor in vendor & customer data. also make tick mark for both clearing with vendor & customer.
when i see the customer report with vendor item it shows me the customer & vendor dues but when i tried to see the vendor balance with customer line item it gives dump error.
Runtime Errors         PERFORM_NOT_FOUND
Exception              CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM', was
     not caught in
    procedure "%_LDB_CALLBACK" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The program "RSDBRUNT" is meant to execute an external PERFORM,
    namely the routine "CB_DDF_GET_KNA1 " of the program "RFITEMAP ", but
    this routine does not exist.
    This may be due to any of the following reasons:
    1. One of the programs "RSDBRUNT" or "RFITEMAP " is currently being developed.
    The name "CB_DDF_GET_KNA1 " of the called routine may be incorrect, or
    the routine "CB_DDF_GET_KNA1 " is not yet implemented in the program "RFITEMAP
    2. If the program SAPMSSY1 is involved in the runtime error, one of
    the function modules called via RFC is not flagged as remote-capable.
    (see Transaction SE37 Goto -> Administration -> RFC flag)
    3. There is an inconsistency in the system. The versions of the
    programs "RSDBRUNT" and "RFITEMAP " do not match.

Hi martin
still problem was not solved. actually i am working on ECC 6.0 & not required to implement the sap note on development. i had done the configuration in vendor master & customer master for clearing.
please suggest me.....what to do ?
