Rear camera pink spot / white balance issue

Pink spots are most apparent in auto and fluorecent white balance modes.
Not apparent in cloudy and daylight white balance modes.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Firmware version 17.1.1.A.0.402
Production date 14w11

1. Lens is clean.
2. Lens is not scratched.
3. Nothing is blocking the lens. There is no LED flash on the tablet. Please do some research about a device before trying to give any advice.
4. I have searched about the problem on Google, and found several topics about mobile devices from other brands, with the exact same issue. For some of those devices, the issue had been reduced or resolved with a software update:

Can Bridge report in-camera settings for White Balance?

No matter what settings I choose in Bridge Preferences, I cannot get it to tell me what was the White Balance (WB) setting of the camera when raw images were shot.
This seems an odd omission because Camera Raw is passed this information and displays images correctly, although it doesn't report what WB value it was given, only that what you are viewing, prior to any editing, is the default "As Shot".
I'm referring to raw files shot on my Canon 300D, Nikon D700 and Canon 5D Mark II.
Currently I'm using PsCS6 (13.0.1.2 x64), Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4 x64) and ACR 8.1 on a Windows 7 x64 8GB system, but the same omission existed on the same Windows system with ACR 7.x in CS6 and all releases of PsCS5, Bridge CS5 and ACR 6.6 and 6.7.
On the opening dialog of Bridge Preferences, at the bottom you can choose whether or not you wish to 'Hide Empty Fields'. Selecting or unselecting this option does not have any effect upon Bridge's inability to report WB when, from within Bridge, you select File Info from the File menu or by hitting Ctrl + I.
The only locations in Bridge Preferences I can find that need selection (and which I have selected) for Bridge to supply WB information upon invoking File Info are here:
Preferences\Metadata\Camera Data (Exif)\White Balance; and
Preferences\Metadata\Camera Raw\White Balance
I have also selected Preferences\Metadata\File Properties\Supports XMP, and yet Bridge fails to give the in-camera WB in the Camera Data tab of File Info.
I have been able to locate references to WB in the following tabs of File Info:
File Info\Advanced, where there appears, under the sub-tab 'Exif Properties (http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0)', an entry such as 'exif:White Balance:1'; and
File Info\Raw Data an entry such as '<exif:White Balance >1< /exif:White Balance>'.
However, these are just code numbers, not names like 'Cloudy' or 'Shade', and they are not only inconsistent (both showing the code 1 for an unedited image I know was shot with Auto WB and another unedited image I know was shot with Flash WB) but also it would appear that the codes may refer to the WB as modified by ACR - because an image I know had its in-camera WB of Auto altered in ACR shows a code of 'Custom' rather than 0, 1 or some other number.
So what am I missing? Does anyone know how to make Bridge Preferences display the in-camera setting for WB, and if so, under which tab of File Info do you look for the answer once you have set up Preferences properly?

Just corrected my current Photoshop version

I'm afraid that you just haven't addressed the question that I asked in my original post.
I still like to think I have but if you for whatever reason need this info showing in the metadata you probably be better of trying to alter it your self or find a way to address Paul personally (maybe via a private message).
I have not heard from him for a long time and a small google search provided me with this forum post, hope it helps you, maybe you can also persuaded Paul to come back, he is very missed!

Ongoing White Balance issue

In a video I just shot there is a slight shift in exposure in the image - just when my subject moves a couple times. It is shot with a white background and she is wearing black. I think this is a white balance issue. Which filters or fixes are best for this? I have tried a few filters and they mostly do it but you can still see the couple times my subject moves and the light/exposure changes. I realize that I need to film it better, but can it be fixed. Thanks for any insights.

Search for "flicker fixer premiere pro". I don't use any of them so you will have to see what works best for you.
You can use the Fast Color corrector in PP to change exposure. You will have to make key frames. If you're not sure how to use key frames and how to use the Fast Color corrector it's time to open the manual.

White balance issues after ProKit Update 5.1

After the new ProKit 5.1 update I get a new reprocess block. When I reprocess the image the white balance gets messed up. The Tint sliders go to 50. The white balance presets are all off too. Is anyone else having issue?

This is frustrating me too. Some things I've discovered:
Reprocessing photos tagged with the 1.0 to 1.1 which required reprocessing caused most of the issues. The auto-converted photos would go from 5200K temp, -1 tint or similar to having a wierd tint. However, using a tint around 90 (off the range the tint slider can be adjusted to. Similarly, using the dropper to select a whitepoint results in these out of range tints. However, the tint looked OK, it's just out of the range you can slide it to.
I tried the deletion of the Raw decode plist and that didn't fix things.
Also of note, I have a selection of images with each of my camera's whitepoint settings (a Canon 30d as it happens). If I reprocess each, select the whitepoint brick to enable it and press reset, I get back the whitepoint which was interpretted from the RAW (and hence the cameras whitepoint setting). These also leap from say ~5200K daylight -1 tint (if I recall correctly) to having offscale tints. This suggests there's a new range at play for RAW 3?
Incredibly frustrating. If anyone has any reasonable fixes, I'd love to hear about them, or preferably could we have an update from Apple which resolves the issue.
I understand that reprocessing can cause small shifts, but my photos which have not been heavily adjusted look totally wrong when reprocessed. For now I will not be reprocessing anything until there's a fix.
Also of note, it looks like way back I locked my default raw processor to 1.0 or 1.1. That may have caused issues. I have since reset the camera defaults to the reset RAW processing defaults for 3. I'll try importing some stuff from camera tonight and see what it does.

White Balance Issues

Hello,
I have noticed this for a couple of weeks now. The display on my 2012 MacBook Pro (non-retina) will switch white balance for a second and then flip back to the normal colors. When it does this you can notice a distinct blue-ish tint to the colors on the screen. The first few times it occurred it lasted for only a second and then would be normal. But today it has occurred twice now; the first lasted for a few minutes and the second hasn't switched back. The current OS of my macbook is Yosemite.
I tried going into the display options under system preferences but all the options still have the blue-ish tint to them. Any one else have this problem? I spilled coffee on my mac last week but this was a thing before that happened. I'm really hoping that it's not a sign of the screen dying.
Thanks for any help.

Rear Camera has horizontal white line across screen

Hi, I was given a playbook for Christmas and I love it but it has developed a horizontal white line on the rear camera which makes the camera and video unusable. I have customized my Playbook so am reluctant to take it back to the shop. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just accept that I'm not going to be able to use the rear camera or video? Hope you can help as in every other way my Playbook is perfect. Thanks.
Solved!

If a Playbook is to be sent for repair, especially with an RMA, it is important to back up data files by WiFi sharing as a desktop software backup may not work if the unit is replaced with a refurb or new unit.

Bug Fix for White Balance Issue (When ?)

Dear Apple:
When can users expect a patch for the bug that "crept" into Aperture late in the development cycle that seriously effects the white balance tool?
This bug is obviously a major concern and issue for most professional-level photographers; and, quite frankly, prevents Aperture from being used in a professional capacity with regard to RAW decoding.
Cheers

Excuse me, John:
But, quite frankly I don't think you are in any position to tell the users of this form how they should feel. Most users, who happen to be high-end prosumers or professionals such as myself, have paid a great deal of money on a piece of software that was supposed to live up to certain, basic expectations. Unfortunately, that software did not. As such it cannot be used in a professional environment.
Subsequently, an update was provided to address all the concerns that users expressed. Unfortunately, that update created a major issue with regard to the white balance of RAW images. Yet again, this expensive piece of software is nearly useless in a professional environment.
Let me ask you this: "if you were a gardner and paid several hundred dollars for a lawn mower, only to discover that it cut your clients' grass unevenly, would you continue to use it? Would you continue to be patient after taking it into the repair shop only to have it still screw up your lawns? Would you not be on the phone with the repair shop constantly until it was fixed?"
Unfortunately, Aperture is a good idea that has a flawed implementation and that NEEDS to be addressed! So, I will continue to ask Joe and Steve and the others at Apple when will this piece of software actually live up to the expectations set forth by the company that produced it!

White Balance Issue

Aperture is not setting the white balance sliders in the proper place after importing images. The image displays properly, but when I move a slider the WB on the image shifts dramatically. I have to reset the adjustment to the default almost every time.
An example would be the image is at Temp 3683 and Tint is at 15, I adjust Temp and then the tint is way magenta. I hit reset and the Temp goes to what the camera shot it at. Anyone else having Aperture misread the WB from the camera?

Shortie,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group. You should read the [Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] when you can.
Does anyone know when Apple are going to fix this?
The likely answer is "yes." However, everyone who posts to this forum is an Aperture user, not an Apple employee. So, the people who know the answer your question are not here.

Help !!! .. SERIOUS white balance issue, footage is yellow !!

Hello guys,
Im an avid reader of these forums but never actually posted. We shot some motorsport this weekend however something happened in terms of white balance on one of the cameras.
The footage has a VERY yellow cast ... We are still injesting at the moment so i've not tried to fix it as yet however I've attached a couple of pics to show you the difference. Bizarrely both these shots are from the same camera, we aren't sure if the operator did something or just that the camera had a 'moment' however the yellow footage is unfortunately the finals .. and key to the piece we are producing.
Any advice or help would be very appreciated.
Regards
Stephen
Decent shot ..

YELLOW !!! .. as i say this is from the same camera !!
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v348/rx7dizzy2002/****.jpg[/IMG]

apply the three way color corrector to a bad shot. double click it in the timeline to open it in the viewer. go to the graphical interface. Next to the wheel on the right is a little eyedropper or whatever-- not in front of my edit system- sorry. Find a piece of what you know to be white in the shot, make sure it is NOT blown out, but properly exposed. Click that with the eyedropper and you should magically get close not exact to the good footage. Whatever you do will be a compromise. Get used to it.

IPhone 4 White Balance Issue

Is anyone having the same issue? Indoor pics with florescent light being way too yellow?

Yes, I had this problem as well on my first iPhone 4. There were also yellow blotches, so I exchanged it and the new one is fine, white balance is much better.

IP4 white balance camera app.

Okay, the white balance issue is getting pretty irritating, especially when I email photos or video directly from my phone. Rarely did I color correct the images on my original iPhone, seems like every image needs to be fix on my IP4.
Has anyone found a camera app. that will do color correction or adjust the white balance for photos and videos?
Thanks,

I use photogene. It works perfectly.

Lumia 810 front camera white balance and flicker

Maybe I'm expecting too much from the front camera, but it gives a purple tint to everything! Is this normal on this phone? I can manually set the whitebalence but it never looks right.
Also, I noticed it was flickering badly in low light last night. Its only my second day with the phone so I am going to do more testing tonight.
Are these normal or should I exchange the phone? The back camera has **bleep** whitebalance as well but at least I can get it to look decent.

The front-facing camera and white balance issues also occur on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I tried following Joe ... Ward's link http:www.adobe.com/go/wish which led me to eventually led me to "Adobe AIR Ideas website" and this link: http://ideas.adobe.com/air/ is not working: HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
Adobe, please make a note of it... we need automatic white balance "WHITE_BALANCE_AUTO" support on these tablets and mobile devices in AIR for Android!

White Balance in Camera raw

Every time I open an image from Bridge in CS6, into camera raw the white balance always defaults to fluorescent. How can I change default opening to read as"shot as"?

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Camera Raw forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
