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?

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.

White balance adjustment

When selecting neutral gray target with the white balance tool, are RGB readings on the loupe averaged values according to the scale of the loupe? Then, is the white balance adjustment made with this tool averaged for the pixels under the loupe?

You can test it for yourself.
Zoom in on a portion of the picture.
Hit W to get the white balance tool.
Click on a spot to obtain WB
Hit W again (unless you have autodismiss set other wise)
Use your scroll wheel on your mouse to change the loupe size and click again on the same pixel.
The WB changes a bit each time.

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.

I am on Lightroom 5 and the exposure and white balance adjustment tools on the right side of the screen have disappeared. How do I restore them?

Right click on one of the other panel headers e.g Tone Curve and a menu will pop up for you to select Basic.
How it gets de-selected is not apparent but several users have had this happen since the release of version 5. It has ahppened to me on at least two occasions.

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.

Local white balance adjustment tool

I really like the new local white balance adjustment tool. If I could change something will be to give a real color temperature to the tool instead of a number from -100 to 100. Let me give you an example of how I used it today.
I forgot to bring some gels for my flashes for a photo shoot. I was using the flashes to illuminate the foreground and I had fluorescent lightening on the background. It was the perfect opportunity to try the new tool. I knew exactly what the color temperature for both front and back were. I applied the background color temperature of 3200k to the picture and when to locally change the foreground. At this point I was guessing what it should be at. My monitor is color calibrated but I was under fluorescent lights with my laptop. Instead I could have added +2200k or dialed 5500k to the local adjustment tool.
Please let me know if you need more information.

I'm sorry I found another discussion about this topic already. Shame on me I didn't do a more thorough search on it before.

Undocumented Feature of the White Balance Tool!

I have not been able to find any documentation on this, at least not in the User Manual nor in the Image Adjustments Manual.
We all wanted to be able to click in multiple areas before leaving the white balance tool in case we clciked on the wrong spot.
Well Apple went one better.
Instead of multiple clicking, just continue to hold the mouse button down and aperture will white balance on the fly!!! Dang. I particularly like using it with the locked down loupe.

Where can i make the paypal donation, lol!!<</div>
I only wish!!!
You're welcome

White Balance Adjustment in Preview?

I'm pretty sure that, a while ago (pre-Leopard), it was possible to adjust a picture's white balance in Preview.app. Now that feature seems to have been turned off. Or am I seeing things? What's going on?

You can test it for yourself.
Zoom in on a portion of the picture.
Hit W to get the white balance tool.
Click on a spot to obtain WB
Hit W again (unless you have autodismiss set other wise)
Use your scroll wheel on your mouse to change the loupe size and click again on the same pixel.
The WB changes a bit each time.

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.

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.)

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 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 ...
