Help! Why does Aperture automatically adjust my white balance?

Hey,
Just wondering if anybody knew why Aperture seems to want to automatically adjust the white balance settings of the RAW .NEF images I've been importing. I mean, on an example image, the in camera white balance was about 5900K with no hue adjustments, but when I imported it into aperture, it looked completely different. Sure enough, Aperture had set a color temp of 5475K and a hue of -22. If I wanted it to be adjusted, I would've asked, but I spent the time getting the white balance right in camera for a reason. I really don't want to have to go back and adjust every image manually. That would defeat the purpose. Please, lend some insight.

I have a D80. Do you think apple will eventually develop a solution to this problem, or some sort of workaround? In the meantime, might I be better off just using the proprietary software, like captureNX? Or, how about adobe camera raw?

How to change the white balance in Final Cut Pro?

What is the best way to change the white balance in Final Cut Pro? I have some clips which are to green. I would like if possible something which might resemble the Camera Raw dialogue in Photoshop. Any way of measuring color (RGB values)?

There is some specific help in this trainng book:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Correction-Studio/dp/0321635280/
When using Color Corrector 3-Way to correct for a green tint, the bullet points are something like this:
1) After loading the clip into the Viewer and applying the CC3W filter to the clip, open your scopes and move the window so you can see the Viewer (with the CC3W tab open) and the scopes
2) First, if necessary, adjust the white and black levels using the video level sliders below the white and black color wheels (I use the slider above the scopes to make the trace in th4 scopes as bright as it will go without blooming)
3) Looking at the Parade scope, the idea is to balance the whites, mids, and blacks on each color display (red, green and blue). So you watch the Parade and drag the dot that is in the center of each color wheel (starting with the whites) away from the color of your tint (in your case, green). Drag the dot until the highest portions in all three Parade displays are as even as you can make them
4) Then do the same with the mids, using the Mids color wheel, moving its dot away from green
5) Do the same thing with the blacks
6) Double check the image on an external video display that is properly adjusted using color bars from Final Cut
NOTE: This short reply is not sufficient to fully explain this technique, and you really need to understand Color Theory before doing this anyway. That's why I recommended the training book.

How can I search my photos by the White Balance Exif field?

For some photos I recently imported, the white balance is way off because my camera had it's white balance set to Tungsten. I would like to be able to find ALL of my photos that were taken with a particular camera whitebalance preset.
I tried to search using the Exif data's White Balance field, but when I use "Tungsten", no images show up, even though I know there are images with that white balance value (thats what it shows in the metadata browser).
The odd thing is that when I select the White Balance Exif field in the search, the options on it seem to relate to a number, rather than a textual white balance (less than, greater than, etc.) and there are no options that would seem to fit a text entry (includes, for example).
When I have it set to greater than or equal to and enter 0, I get no images, when I enter 1 I get all images, and when I enter anything else, I get no images.
So, what am I doing wrong? How can I search on the White Balance Exif field?

I think Aperture is trying to trick you.
Probably, and succeeding.
Meanwhile I exported the images that were neither "Auto White Balance" nor "Fine weather" l and looked at those with the exiftool in GraphicConverter.
For all those images GraphicCoverter was showing "Manual", and sadly, no number.
It seems, we need to run exiftool from the command line, but I need to find the manual again ...

Where is the white balance adjustment?

The iPhoto app provided an adjustment for white balance, if Photos in ios8 is a major update and replaces iPhoto, where do I find the white balance adjustment?

Do you just have to eyeball the correct adjustment rather than have it done autmatically?

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.

How to batch process auto white balance

I have 500 RAW photos taken in different lighting situations. How do I batch process these photos so that each photo is individually auto adjusted for white balance. I also have the same question for EXPOSURE.

If you're using Aperture 3.3 or later, you can use "Auto Enhance" to do this, which will attempt to automatically set the white balance, exposure (a mild tweaks), put a curve on the photos, etc. In general, I find it provides a pretty good starting point.
You can do it as an import preset. OR, you can select all the photos you want to edit, then choose Photos->Add Effect->Quick Fixes->Auto Enhance.
If you don't like it you can go through Photos again to remove all adjustments.
Auto enhance is pretty neat; it has 4 or 5 things it does. You could define your own preset that did ONLY white balance and exposure if you wanted as an import preset.
Note you have to do it through the menu at top. If you do it from effects on the left it will only apply to a single photo.

The Lightroom Manual is Not Clear on Options for the White-Balance Tool

In the section "Working with image tone and color" the Lightroom manual states:
Specify a neutral area in the photo
1. In the Basic panel of the Develop module, click the White Balance Selector tool to select it, or press the W key.
2. Move the White Balance Selector into an area of the photo that should be a neutral light gray. Avoid spectral highlights or areas that are
100% white.
3. Set options in the toolbar as needed.
Sets the White Balance Selector tool to dismiss automatically after clicking only once in the photo.
Displays a close-up view and the RGB values of a sampling of pixels under the White Balance Selector.
Zooms the close-up view in the Loupe...."
Item 3 is unclear. I selected the white balance selector, and moved it to an area as instructed,
but I cannot find any toolbar with the options described.
How do I get to this mysterious toolbar?? Everyone seems to think its a simple thing, but I cannot find it and I am not able to set any of the options described!
While I am sure this is a simple thing, I think that the manual should be much more clear about this description; what is there now is very inadequate.

It should be directly underneath the image preview - press the T key if it's not there.

How to unregister a personal white balance in DPP

I'm fairly new to DPP. I registered a personal white balance using the WB pen tool. I completed the task I was using the tool for and want to get the white balance tool back to the default.

As a Linux-Unix bigot I took this as a personal challange to see how drastic an action would need to be taken to remedy this situation.
1. Reload DPP 3.14.15 - Personal white balance still registered.
2. Restored XP from older restore point loaded with DPP 3.14.0 before I updated to 3.14.15 - Personal white balance STILL registered. At this point it became blatantly obvious that Microsoft does not restore the current registry where these setting must be stored from an older restore point. Enough said.
3. Being that this is an XP guest system on a Ubuntu Linux system running Oracle's VirtualBox, I went to a backup of the guest system and then reloaded 3.14.15 to get the software where I wanted it.
Never have regretted moving to Linux, sure hope I never have to upgrade to DPP 4.x.x and have to buy more Microsoft trash.
Cheers.

TS2518 Where has the White Balance Setting Temp K gone? I only have a slider "warmth" left...

I just upgraded to Aperture 3.3.1 and the setting to set the white balance to a certain temperature in K has gone...
This is how it used to look:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=8%26tasks=true
but now only a setting called "warmth" with a slider and a default setting of "0,50" is left...

Set the drop-down selector in the ""White Balance" brick to "Temperature & Tint". Then you can set again a color temperature.

How can I adjust the skin color of only one person in the photo (Elements 11)

How can I adjust the skin color of only one person in the photo (Elements 11)?
Thanks for your help.

From your question, I assume you know how to do it for all persons :
Menu : Enhance/Adjust color/adjust color for skin tones
So what you have to do is to do the color correction on a layer copy. Concentrate on the person to enhance and ignore the rest of the picture.
When you are satisfied, add a mask to the layer copy and fill it with black.
Set your foreground color to white
In the layer palette, click on the mask icon on the right of the layer icon.
Then use a brush to paint white on the skin of the person to reveal the correction.

Does any1 know how to color correct for white balance/color grade?

hey wasup guys just finished my 1st music video now i need 2 color correct & color grade. i willl be making the video black & white so i was told i need 2 get rid of any color cast in my footage. i 4got 2 set the white balance on my 7d when i was shooting sum sceens so i could use any help possible like what is the best color corrector to use or how to white balance my footage any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Check the basics and do a Google search. The first three listed will be videos, the next link points to the Adobe Help files.
The basic tools are the same as in Photoshop but there are a bunch of 3rd party plug-ins out there that make the job easier. If you run one of the tutorials found in your Google Search and are stuck get back to us.

Correcting the white balance?

I have some clips that are slightly blue on the white. Was wondering whether there was a way to correct the white balance in post-production (FC2)? Thank you.

I'll add to Andy's reply.
If you open the Scopes and select the Parade scope, look at the relative traces of red, blue, and green. A well balanced shot of an evenly composed scene will display on the Parade scope with fairly similar red, blue, and green traces.
So, while you keep an eye on the Parade, move the little circle in the white color wheel slowly away from blue until the red, blue and green traces are mostly even. Then look at the traces in the zero to 20 unit range and do the same thing with the black color wheel. Then again with the mids wheel while looking at the traces in the 40 to 70 unit range.
That should get you close. After that, it's an art. Make further corrections S-L-O-W-L-Y, with very small changes at a time, until things look right on a properly calibrated external video monitor.
But before you do all that, look at the waveform monitor scope and adjust sliders at the base of the whiles and blacks color wheels until the trace shows video going from 0 to 100, or close to it, depending on the scene. (Sometimes, a properly displayed shot just doesn't go all the way from 0 to 100, and should not be made to do so. Most times, this will work - do it before the rest of the color correction.)
NOTE: This is a too-short explanation of basic color correction techniques. If this doesn't make sense, seek the details elsewhere. The Peachpit Apple Training Series book, "Advanced Color Correction and Effects in Final Cut Pro 5" is really good, though it hasn't been updated for FCP 6 (not that it has to be - no changes.)

I'm getting audio in voiceover only on the right side in iMovie.. how can I adjust the pan. Both right and left work in Garageband but not in Imovie.

I'm getting audio in voiceover recordings only on the right side in playback. How can I adjust the balance? I'm using an external mic and preamp that work fine (both channels) in Garageband, so it's not my recording setup. Balance is Ok using internal mic but the sound is not as good.

When you share your project, use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
Click Options.
In the Sound settings/Channels, choose MONO.
In the Video settings, choose the codec of your choice (probably h.264) under Compression.
