Where does Camera Raw find custom WB info in a RAW file?

I'm using a custom WB preset on a Nikon D610.  When I open the RAW file in Lightroom or Camera Raw, I see WB = "As Shot" and I see Temp and Tint values that are CLEARLY custom values.  I am curious to know (a) where Nikon stores the WB information in a .NEF file, and how Adobe is able to find it.  Does anyone know which metadata tags hold the custom WB?  Thanks!

On my Nikon D610 I can be very specific about  WB by setting an X,Y coordinate pair in the "Choose color temp." screen:
This is the (x,y) coordinate pair that I mentioned in an earlier post. When I open the NEF file in Camera Raw, the temp and tint scales will show these values.  So the question remains: where does Adobe find this information in the NEF?
I understand that, except for "As Shot" all of the other choices Adobe gives you for White Balance will not correspond to any camera settings.  They will be Adobe's interpretation of what those values mean.  For example, "Auto" will mean what Adobe considers the best WB for your image, and it will be based on its analysis of the color data

  • Where does the svc system get its infos from?

    The longer I work with Solaris 10, the more I dread this awful "services" construction and its unwieldy administration.
    I have a newly setup machine with two zones, one created right after the other, meaning they should be identical.
    /usr is, as usual, lofs'ed into both zones, and contains a /usr/local/samba dir with a handcompiled 3.0.30 release.
    I have not created any manifests as I intended to simply delete the 'onboard' samba service and start the new version
    via the classical init script.
    I boot both zones.. and one starts "/usr/local/samba/smbd -D -f /etc/smb.conf", and the other starts (or tries to) "/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D".
    I inspected the manifest xmls for the network/samba service, and in both zones the entry lists /usr/sfw as start method.
    svccfg listprop network/samba also reports /usr/sfw for both zones.
    Where did the one zone get the info to start the /usr/local samba installation, and where did it get the (correct) conf file parameter?
    Why does svccfg report a different startup method property than it really runs on svcadm enable?
    I have grepped through all of /lib/svc, /etc/svc and /var/svc and nowhere is any reference to the /usr/local file nor the conf parameters.
    Swapping the svc repository.db file between both zones also swaps the problem around - so it must be somewhere in there,
    but as it's no longer a human readable file, I'm out of luck there. How did the /usr/local path and parameters get into that DB file?
    Does the service system search the filesystem for known daemon binary names and other guesswork? And if it does such voodoo,
    why didn't it do the same in the other identical zone?
    rant Did we really need to get this svc "feature"? Until now I have seen no advantage from it, and only incurred a huge load of inconvenience,
    be it the additional work of creating manifests for new services or debugging problems that I never had in a decade or two of init script usage.
    We have all seen for many years how well this registry/service stuff worked on Windows..*/rant*

    What do you get for:
    svcprop -p start/exec network/samba:defaultThat should display the start string it uses.
    Where did the one zone get the info to start the /usr/local samba installation, and where did it get the (correct) conf file parameter?I can only assume that some program inserted that string into the service. As you said, it's not in the manifest, so it didn't come from there.

For starting a single job, you won't see the benefits as much.
    Of course, the milestone services still run startup scripts out of /etc/rc[S23].d, so those are perfectly valid places to run a startup script.

  • [Solved] Where does Chrome get it's GTK+ info from?

    In XFCE I use Greybird as my gtk2/gtk3 theme and Zukitwo for my window manager theme.  I like the way Chromium looks when you click on "Use GTK+ theme" but the titlebar doesn't match the rest of my windows.  As far as I know there's no way to set up a manifest.json so that Chrome uses system icons so I'm going to have to edit Greybird.  My question is what file in the Greybird theme does Chrome pull it's GTK+ info from?
    Here's a picture of the differences between my custom theme and 'use gtk+ theme'.

    The Shimmer Project added the above mentioned customizations to Chromium in their Greybird theme. This can be found in the file gtk-2.0/gtkrc:
    gtkrc wrote:
    # Google Chrome/Chromium theming (requires 9.0.597 or newer)
    style "chrome-gtk-frame"
        ChromeGtkFrame::frame-color = shade (0.5, @bg_color)
        ChromeGtkFrame::inactive-frame-color = shade (0.5, @bg_color)
        ChromeGtkFrame::frame-gradient-size = 100
        ChromeGtkFrame::frame-gradient-color = shade (1.08,@bg_color)
        ChromeGtkFrame::inactive-frame-gradient-color = shade (1.08,@bg_color)
        ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-trough-color = @base_color
        ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-slider-prelight-color = @panel_bg
        ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-slider-normal-color = shade (1.4, @panel_bg)
    class "ChromeGtkFrame" style "chrome-gtk-frame"
    Keep in mind, this is a GTK2 override and has nothing to do with the window decorations. They themed Chromium's tabs and the like to match the xfwm4 Greybird theme. Without this override, the colors would not match. I actually like what they've done. Chromium is not the only application they customized to match Greybird.

  • Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

    Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
    The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
    For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
    I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

    The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
    I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
    I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
    All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.

  • Where does Photoshop CS5 pull custom color profiles from?

    Photoshop CS5 is not seeing my new custom color profiles for my scanner when i try to "Assign profile" or "Convert profile". it sees my old profiles that I used in CS4. i have made sure to copy the profiles the following directories:
    /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    myuseraccount/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    where else does CS5 pull color profiles from? By the way, those old color profiles DO NOT exist in the above directories. your help is greatly appreciated.
    I am running Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x32 on mac os x 10.6.4.

    In all honesty, I've never had occasion to think about any such "reconciliation".  I've never re-named a profile's file name in the Finder, and in the few cases where I've run into a discrepancy there, I just make it a point to remember the internal name and forget about the other one.

  • Where does iTunes  calendar sync get its info data  from?

    Does it get it from one source? for example, I see a birthday in iCal, but it does not want to appear on my iPhone, and I can't figure out why that should happen. I keep looking for a source of data that might not jive , like looking in Entourage address book or looking in Apples Address book. Both those sources have the correct information. I normally use Entourage as my mail program. Bottom line, my question seems to come back to what data source does the iphone/itunes interface use for Calendar sync, or for that matter, contacts, and mail?

    It syncs to the program that you selected.

  • Where does iTunes keep the "comments" field info?

    I've lost all the comments I recently entered for a particular CD
    and I need to figure out what file iTunes keeps that infomation in
    so I can get only that file out of a recent back up.
    This info is not in the file titled "iTunes Music Library.xml" is it?
    I looked in there by opening it in TextEdit but that didn't seem to be
    the file so it must be kept someplace else. UgH!@

    Matthew,
    thanks for the quick reply but...
    I have not actually ripped a song so this info can not be in the song file.
    Here is what i have going :
    I put in the CD and I have titled each track to give it a descriptive name and
    further added comments to the comments fields.
    I eject the CD.
    When I insert the CD again, all this info shows there again, it's like
    iTunes just knows it's this CD and what the song titles are etc.
    So this song title and commments info couldn't be part of the song file because the songs are still on the CD and iTunes can't make a change on the CD, it's a commercial write protected CD, know what I mean?
    Also, the song title and comments info isn't kept in the "iTunes Music Library.xml" because iTunes shows song titles and comments that are
    not in this file when I search in it with TextEdit. This is making me nuts!

  • Where does my trash go its always empty when i delete files they just disappear and trash is always empty no good if i delete something by mistake !!

    can anyone tell me ??

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    I wanted to clarify a point or two but missed the 15-min cutoff.  The above statuses were displayed on the Supervise screen under the connected device for about 1 sec each with the exception of the "Decompressing iOS..." which was up for about 7-10 seconds before crashing.  Thinking it was pointing to a corrupt or missing .ipsw, I redownloaded the iOS software update from iTunes and even tried pointing to it on the "Prepare" screen.

  • Customer material info records are not  getting displayed in Sales order

    Hi ,
    We are upgrading our client sap system  from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 .We are now in the testing phase .An  issue came up  regarding customer material info records .
    When we are creating a sales order using VA01, after entering Material number and order quantity for an item  if we press the ordering party tab(before saving the sales order) the customer material info records (value in cutomer material number) are gettting displayed.But if we save the sales order we are not able to  see the customer material info records.
    kindly guide me in this issue .
    Thanks in advance .
    Nikhil

    hi nikhil,
                check the tick box in vov8 "read info record",and when you create sales order(va01),dont enter the material number enter the "customer material number" and see whether you are getting the material number.
    and also go to (va02) and check whether you are getting the CMIR details.
    pls explain me the problem in detail for my better understanding
    regards

  • How to draw white border(only corner) lines around camera view finder

    Hi. You know those white corner lines around the camera view that is found on most camera apps, how do I draw those lines around the camera view? I'm developing a video camera app and now I want to draw those lines to indicate where the camera view finder
    is. The white line starts at the top left corner of the camera view(horizontal) then stops about one quarter and starts again at the other side(top right). The same at left, right and bottom side. It shouldn't be a full square/rectangle just the corners. I
    think you understand what I'm talking about now. How can I draw just "video camera corner lines"? After this question I want to ask you how to change the resolution like to 176*220, 240*320 ect and what the available resolutions is for capturing
    video-clips. For now just the white corner lines of camera view. Thanks in advance:-)

    How do I draw lines and shapes on top of the camera view finder(cvf)?
    +how do I show the battery life bar on cvf?
    +how do I programmatically add text on the cvf?
    +how do I make a connection request? (connect to a URL)?
    +how do I change the resolution of the video camera? What is the acceptable values for resolution?
