LR1.0 - White Balance Options

Loaded Version 1.0.
The only White Balance options that are available are: As Shot, Auto, and Custom.
Thought it might have been a conversion problem, installed clean with no existing beta db and same issue.

I shoot mainly in jpg with a custom WB of 5300k. Being able to have a non-destructive editor for jpg's is why I beta tested LR. In every release, I was able to adjust WB temp in degrees to reflect my prefered 5300k.
If there are no obsolutes when dealing with jpg's, why was custom WB with degree's an option in the beta's?
I have yet to get the same results from LR v1.0 (trial) as I was getting from B41.
I'm really disappointed that Adobe removed this function in the final version. I was getting great results.

  • White balance option for stl 001

    Hi Guys
    My z10 - stl 001 missing White balance option.This option to fix white color on screen of Z10
    How to fix this problem
    OS 10.3 have this option for stl 001 ?
    Thanks 

    Nope. Can't do that.
    The best you can do is use Quick Develop to do a relative adjustment on a
    selection of files.

  • White Balance Options

    Hi,
    Under Develop, when I select White Balance, all I receive in the drop down menu are "auto", "custom", and "as shot".
    I should be given the options of "Tungsten", "shade", "daylight", etc.
    How can I get the full selection of White Balances?
    I have Lightroom 2 and have a PC.
    Thank you.

    Barb,
    You are editing a jpeg or tiff, correct?
    The other options are available only for raw files.

  • Missing White Balance Options

    I bought my lightroom recently brand new on ebay, when I got it in the mail, I realized it was a education version. I was comparing it to the beta version I had before and realized that in this one I can not change the white balance to the options like "sunny", "cloudy", etc.. all i have is as shot, auto and custom, i dont get it. Did this happen cause i ended up getting a education version?? I feel like I got screwed. If I uninstall and reinstall do you think that may help?

    Those options probably shouldn't be there in QD for JPEGs since JPEGs don't have an embedded absolute white balance reference but are rather already processed. Thus there's no real way to know where you are or how to get to "daylight" (or any other choice) from wherever that is. The thinking is that QD is a relative-tool, and thus those options at least make a little sense in that light.

  • Lightroom 2 - Auto white balance - crash

    I'm having intermittent problems while applying auto white balance on some CR2 files in Lightroom 2 running on OS X 10.5.4. When choosing Auto from the list of white balance options, LR waits for a second or two, doesn't update the history panel and the spinning beachball appears. CPU rises to about 100% and there's no other way than to force quit.
    So far it happens with, say, one in 50 images (I've been working on approximately 100 images and with 2 this happened).
    When I restart I can easily recreate the problem by going through the same routine.
    The workaround is working on another image and then going back to the problematic one; then I can apply AWB without any problems.
    I can save a (lengthy) hang reporter log file.

    Thought I was doing pretty good with LR2, but unfortunately this problem has showed up on my Mac OS X 10.5.4 system. The stalls (i.e., beachball) are when developing CR2 images from a Canon 5D. I experience many occurrences of the problem when going through this folder of RAWs, perhaps 20-30% of the images. Today I thought I had found one that always fails, but turns out not to be the case, although it causes a failure over half the time it is accessed. Same symptoms as described in the above posts: Convert an image's white balance to auto, in either quick-develop or develop. Then when you access the image you get the spinning beachball forever, and have to force-quit. I've also stalled LR with this sequence: in QD, convert WB to auto, switch to develop module, undo the WB change in history by clicking the prior step... LR stalls. Basically I've seen all the same steps as described here, and more.
    Also, just for fun I tried everyone's favorite troubleshooting step, i.e., trashing preferences. It made absolutely no difference. The first time I simply clicked on the troublesome image, LR got stuck.
    Jao... interestingly, I never saw this problem in the beta in spite of developing many, many images in the beta. If it was known and not fixed, that's quite a concern.

  • White Balance panel just shows, Auto, As shot and Custom but im shooting Raw?

    In my White balance panel, its only have 3 option to choose from, but the rest is nowhere to be seen like the cloudy,daylight,shade, flourescent and tungsten. but im shooting raw in my camera, i dont know why there is no enough options to choose from.

    If you click on an image that is showing you no white balance options, and look the two boxes highlighted in red in the image below, what do those two fields say?

  • Are there white balance presets - like in Camera Raw?

    Hi. I'm newer to Aperture, and when I'm editing photos, I'm wondering if there's a white balance preset, like in Adobe Camera Raw, that match my camera's white balance options (cloudy, flash, daylight, etc.). Is there something like that in Aperture that I can't find, or am I just regulated to the sliders?
    Thanks!

    they are not preinstalled, but you can easily make them. just shoot several images with your camera set to each white balance, then save all the settings in the white balance brick.

  • Z1 White Balance Displa Setting

    May I ask how to see the white balance setting into the display setting for Xperia Z1? Bec. I have Xperia Z also and the white balance setting is already seen but into my Z1 I can't see the white balance setting to adjust the screen display hope to answer back in able to fix my Xperia Z1 yellow hue tint problem using the "White Balance" in display setting. Thank you

    No White Balance option in Z1. Can;t say what made them remove this.
    Sony just removed the "optimized backlight option" from this new 14.1.G.2.257 firmware.
    YELLOW HUE tint is still there. Display is even more DIM in this new update.
    In Short Another update full of bugs have been rolled by Sony.
    NFC icon doesn't appear after activating it.
    Automatic switch off issue still there.
    P.S. Don't ask to update our Z1 again by SUS or PCC, whenever use reports we get only this answer. Why don't Sony make a stable firmware. It has been more then a month and still Z1 has not got a stabel firmware.
    Don't forget to give Kudos.

  • White Balance Adjustment question

    I have about 800 images from a wedding, and am now ready to go thru them and adjust the white balance.
    However, am I missing something?
    I click on the white balance option, then the dropper, then click on the image to adjust the white balance ...
    But, when I go to the next image, I have to THEN click on white balance AGAIN then the dropper, then the image etc etc etc???!!!
    Can I just click on the dropper once, then scroll thru the images to adjust without having to ACTIVATE the white balance option again and again and again?
    When there are 800 images, adding in those extra two steps is slowing me down big time.
    Does this make sense?
    Much appreciated!

    So, I wanted to adjust each image individually but
    without always having to click on White Balance
    Adjustment each and every time. I really just want
    to click thru and eye dropper the images.
    Is this possible, or do I have to always go to the
    adjustment pane and let the thing know I want white
    balance adjustment after each image ...
    I'm afraid the interface lets you down here. What's unfortunate is that there is no keyboard shortcut for the WB tool. There is for Edge Sharpen, for instance (ctrl-S) -- which means that for each image you can leave the HUD open and very quickly bring in the tool so its standard preset will be applied. It would be awfully nice to have that fast, mouseless capability with other tools.
    (Query: since you can't get rid of default tools, which is why they're grayed out in the "+" menu on the HUD, why do they have keyboard shortcuts?? Pressing the shortcut doesn't toggle the tool off-and-on, or anything. Why do Color and Highlights & Shadows have ctrl-key shortcuts, and Crop and Straighten have non-ctrl-key shortcuts? Mysteries, mysteries.)
    It might be most efficient to figure out what most images need, lift and stamp that setting, then go back and nudge or cancel the WB correction on the others. Depending on the numbers and proportion, of course.

  • JPEG and White Balance

    When Aperture imports JPEGs it offers the same white balance options as it does for RAW files.
    My understandiing from using Lightroom which does not use temperature in it's white balance Develop module for JPEGs, is that there is no data associated with a JPEG that tells the program where to start with white balance.
    I'm curious as to what assumptions Aperture makes with regard to white balance when importing JPEGs and what goes on in the background as you change the temperature with a JPEG.
    Thank you.

    Aperture assigns a temperature of 5000k to all jpg and tif files.
    I don't know what goes on in the background but the temperature changes are useful, if not correct.
    Cheers,
    Terry

  • Cross Hairs Vanish in White Balance Loupe

    If I click on the eyedropper under the White Balance option, the loupe appears on the screen with the white cross hairs in the center (along with RGB values). If I move to an area that forces the loupe to rotate (ie upper right corner of the image), the cross hairs and RGB values vanish, making it impossible to accurately select a neutral gray.

    Yes, its a better loupe, but it has the same problem as the other one.
    Sometimes it also loses the RGB information, although the conditions that make it happen are unclear. When it happens it also affects the RGB info below the histogram in the adjustment pane. Leaving the loupe does not bring it back. The loupe can cause the problem, but also zooming in.
    Some images seem more prone to lose it than others. These images also have a problem with the accuracy of the loupe/pointer. The color information that is returned is for pixels at an offset from the pointer. If it gets too irritating I will crop the image by 1 pixel on all sides, which often helps.
    I found that switching the viewer to another image and back again will restore the RGB info for a while.

  • 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.

  • I lost the little white balance dropper thingy and the option to change exposure and cannot figure out how to get them back! Help! Thank you!

    I lost the little white balance dropper thingy and the option to change exposure and cannot figure out how to get them back! Help! Thank you!

    Are you saying you've lost the "Basic" tool tab?
    If yes, just right-click on one of the other tabs and select "Basic" from the context menu that's presented.

  • Fine Adjust White Balance with Option Key

    Hello,
    I find that I often want to make finer adjustments to white balance than is easy to do with the slider's scalesmall movements of the slider yield relatively large adjustments in the white balance. I would like to see a "magnifcation" of the scale when the option key is held down, so that the same amount of sliding would move the temperature in much finer increments. I realize that the option key is also used for resetting a panel, so perhaps another key, but this is the idea.
    Many thanks,
    Michael Morrison

    By highlighting the temperature 'number', you can press the up and down arrow keys to adjust the temp in 50 degree increments. This functionality works in all the adjustments.

  • White balance field to metadata panel

    There's a lot of info available in the metadata/EXIF panel but the preset/program used for white balance is missing, eg. Auto, Cloudy, Tungsten, Custom, etc. Interestingly though, LR can read the actual values in the Develop module, unless I'm wrong and it is actually working it out, not reading it.

    Is there any way to get detailed info of White Balance setting in Bridge Metadata ?  I'm getting only "custom" ; my instructor in College needs more detailed data in my contact sheets.
    Thanks for any imput
    You can't get this info in a contact sheet, neither is it easy to get other then look at the camera setting you have used to shoot the files. Maybe it is somewhere hidden deep down in the exif data but I can't find it with exact numbers.
    Shooting Raw those WB figures are irrelevant because you can set color temperature and tint to whatever you like. Shooting jpeg your options are limited because of the fact the Raw data is already processed and changing temperature and tint effects the whole image.
    Try shoot a Raw and jpeg together from the same scene. One with daylight and one with artificial light conditions. (personally I have set my WB in camera fixed at 5500 but with auto settings you can also see the difference) Try to correct the jpeg and the Raw file in ACR and see what I mean.
    And to be honest, if your instructor at College would like to have this he also should tell you why he wants it and how you can deliver it...
