White Balance changes to scale...

In Beta 4 I was getting used to and appreciating working in degrees and having typical WB presets such as daylight, cloudy etc... Now its all different with just three presets As Shot, Auto and Custom. This seems a backward step and far less meaningful to me. Does anyone see the reason/advantage for the new set up. All my WB history shows in degrees, but now all that is meaningless. Now it seems to be just a + or - slider???? + or - from what? Confused.
Cheers,
Paul

You're right - the controls for RAWs are as I was used to in Beta4. My mistake. But I seem to have jpegss with old B4 history in degrees but now with WB adjustments in V1.0 shown as * or - steps. So I think something has changed for jpegs - or so it seems from the history. I can't recall as I mostly work from RAW images now, unless I go back to older files as now.
Anyway, thanks for pointing out that the RAW workflow is unchanged for WB.
Cheers,
Paul

  • Mavericks: white balance changes when video plays

    Hi There,
    I have an issue that whenever video is playing (YouTube, Vimeo, Final Cut, Premier Pro) my monitor's white balance will change to a cooler temperature after 2 or 3 seconds.
    But weirdly, only the white balance on the video changes - nothing else on screen changes - setup is:
    15" MBP Retina
    NVIDIA Descret graphics
    Dell U2713H
    I initially had to run a few terminal commands to force the MBP to recognice the Dell as a monitor (http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3567172) so don't know if this is part of the issue?
    But this doesn't happen with the monitor at home - same MBP and monitor model.
    I can't work out of this is the monitor, video card or the OS that's doing this - has anyone else seen this?

    I'd checked several settings on the Dell but just found another one: "Smart Movie Enhance" - turning this off fixed the issue.
    >Menu >Display Settings >Smart Video Enhance> Off
    It seems professional monitors are becoming more like TVs - after turnning off all the picture enhancing tech on our new Sony TV, movies finally looked cinematic and not like 90s video!

  • White Balance Getting Changed on Import

    I don't know when this started happening or if i accidentally changed something to make it start happening but it's driving me crazy.
    When I import images from my Canon 5D the thumbnails look fine but as soon as i open one up the white balance changes and makes the image very warm. I notice that it has been changed to custom. If i select As Shot it snaps it back to the way it was shot and things look great.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks for the help.

  • White balance dropper -- any way to keep it "on"?

    Hi all,
    If I click on the White Balance dropper, then head all the way over to the picture to click on a grey spot, if I don't like the results, I have to go all the way back to the dropper, click on it again, and come back to another gray spot.
    Is there a way to keep the dropper "on" until I turn it off? Or I suppose there's a keyboard shortcut? How do you all do this, checking a number of spots for white balance?
    Thanks!

    There is a keyboard shortcut for the white balance dropper as well, but it's not documented anywhere. I'm unsure why this is.
    And it only works if you have the adjustment panel showing .
    Anyway, command-shift-w will bring up the white balance dropper, so you don't have to keep mousing.
    Also the shift key note above will work as well, in that you can continually sample. In fact if you keep the shift key held down and move the eyedropper it will show you continuous real-time white balance changes.

  • White balance - how to make a seamless transition?

    I recently shot a wedding video and at the end of the night, the bride and groom ran from the reception hall out to the main lobby as the DJ played "Hit the Road, Jack."
    My question is this - the reception hall is darkly lit, with tungsten balanced lights and other things coming off of strobes. The lobby is lit by tungsten lights. I can use the razor blade tool to chop the clip and set a new white balance for the lobby area, but there is a color shift that you can see, or at least I can, when the white balance changes between the two areas. Is there a way to make this transition seamless, or is it better just to leave it be as to the way the camera shot and balanced things?

  • Awful canon raw conversion for photos with dramatic (i.e. underwater) non-standard white balance

    I'm shooting underwater (and white balancing as I shoot using a white disc) with a canon s90, and have noticed that the raw conversions done by aperture are way worse than those from jpegs when I shoot in raw+jpeg and those done by raw processing using the canon digital photo professional software. In particular, reds are pretty much lost. It may be a false lead, but I notice that in aperture, the rgb histogram shows a dramatic spike of the red channel on the far right (possibly clipping?) that doesn't show up in the rgb histogram in the canon software.
    I'm not sure whether this is related to the plethora of threads about canon raw processing and overly green output. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas? I could batch convert to tiff in the canon software but I'd really rather not do that... For one thing the 16bit tiff files are so much bigger than the raws and it is an annoying extra step. Also, note that I can't just batch fix the white balance because (a) I'm having a hard time getting aperture to do it properly (possibly b/c the red channel is clipped as far as the aperture UI is concerned?) and (b) The white-balance changes from picture to picture as I change depth, which is the whole reason I white-balance as I'm shooting in the first place..
    I've attached two versions of a picture, one of which I processed the raw in aperture and one of which I processed the raw (and converted to TIFF to give to aperture) in the canon software. I then exported both as small jpegs from aperture.
    Canon Digital Photo Professional (correct):
    Aperture RAW processing (very wrong):

    >Is MS Picture Viewer a colour managed application? I don't know, but don't think so. Lightroom is however which might be the cause of your problems.
    Not in XP. In vista it is color managed. From the sound of it, the problem is a bad monitor profile but you might also have a corrupt Lightroom database. You need to recalibrate the monitor and NEVER use canned profiles from the monitor manufacturer. They are almost always corrupt. As a very last resort, you can use sRGB as the monitor profile (delete any profile found in the windows display properties) but only to hold you over until you can really calibrate it. The other problems with weird errors are pretty worrisome though. Do you also get them when you start a fresh catalog?

  • White Balance Effect

    CS6 Production Premium Suite
    Win7x64
    Nvidia GForce GTX 470
    Intel i7 930 @2.8GHz
    12 GB memory
    Canon XA10
    Does Premiere have a White Balance effect like Camera Raw which adjusts the white balance Kelvin?
    If not, why not since Camera Raw has one.
    Is there a third party that does?
    Thanks in advance.

    I use an Expo Disc to manually set the white balance for the Canon XA10. However, the lighting was suddenly changed while shooting. Unfortunately, the XA10 greys white balance changes while shooting. The speaker would have gone ballistic if I asked her to stop for a moment to change to auto white balance. So I was forced to shoot with a manual white balance setting that looked great before the lighting change but looked awful afterward. Hence, the need to make white balance adjustments in post production.

  • Mass unset an adjustment (white balance), aperture 3

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to Aperture 3 and everything went smoothly, even the library upgrade.
    Except for a small adjustment thing: After "reprocess masters" every image I had white balance set manually (most of my tens of thousands of images), looks now green. Not only slightly, everything is green. When I unclick the white balance adjustment, the picture returns to pretty much what I expected it to be (camera is Canon 5D, raw images).
    Seems that Aperture 3 processes this generally better and pictures look fine without adjusting white balance.
    Now the question is: how do I mass unset white balance setting for each and every image inside a project? With lift and stamp I can change white balance, but I didn't find a way to unset it completely. Manually I can uncheck the box before white balance and that does the trick, but I don't plan to click 42000 images manually.
    Is there a way to batch change this? It would be easier to just unset everything, then go through the previews quickly to see if some of the photos need WB adjustment and do those few manually. I've now gone through five projects manually and have left the manual adjustment to only about ten photos with a slight modification towards purple.

    Yes 5D can do that but I don't use the feature.
    These are albums created ages ago with first Aperture 1 and then Aperture 2 for the newer ones. Actually, this pointed me to the right direction.
    The greenness problem seems to trouble only old photos processed with Aperture 1.0 or 1.1 RAW settings. I've been processing the oldest albums first and didn't even think about this.
    For 2.x photos, the reprosessing doesn't cause any greenness or other problems, and also, curiously, the "stamp default from jpg" trick works for these images just as suggested here, in case I wanted to remove the WB settings, which seems to be unnecessary.
    But for 1.x raw processed photos, there is a desperate need to do something and the lift & stamp trick doesn't work.
    Weird, but the problem seems to be in the fact that I never converted anything when I migrated to Aperture 2. There was no need to do anything so I just let the old ones be as they were. I tested moving to 2.0 raw with a couple of photos and I wasn't happy with the result as something in the colours and/or white balance changed and some minor adjustments would have been needed.
    So thanks for your help and ideas once again. I'll leave the old ones for now as they are and hope Apple fixes this. They obviously haven't tested the migration at all with a library containing photos processed with the ancient 1.0 raw processing.

    I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR.  I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the  WB as  it is importing photos.  I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB.  Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB.  Your advise is very much needed and appreciated.  Thank you.

    Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
    Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

  • Lightroom: Why does auto white balance no longer work after changing the camera calibration profile?

    I'm using NEF raw files from Nikon.
    Lets say for example I import a NEF file into Lightroom (v4) and click on 'auto' for white balance. The white balance in the image is  adjusted correctly (somewhat). However, if I then change the camera profile (in the camera calibration section) from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard' then the white balance in the image becomes very wrong. I then have to set the white balance back to 'as shot' and correct it manually instead.
    Why would 'auto white balance' no longer work just because I change the profile from 'adobe standard' to 'camera standard'?
    Any ideas?

    Works as expected here...
    Which Lr version and what OS??

  • Elements 11 organizer shows correct wb in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten

    Elements 11 organizer shows correct white balance in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten.  Photos where shot in raw and in auto or flash white balance.  any suggestions out there?

    Figured it out, if the raw default setting has the wb on 3000 (or tungsten) the slide show uses adobe raw to convert so they all showed blue LOL

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • In Module, the Basic panel (white balance, color saturation and tonal scale) disappeared.  How can I restore these tools?

    In Develop Module, the Basic Panel (white balance, color saturation and tonal scale) disappeared.  How can I restore these tools?

    When you say the Basic panel has disappeared, do you mean the whole right side panel or individual tools such as the White Balance tool is gone? If it is the whole right side panel that is missing, you may have hidden it. Using the Tab key, you can cycle between hiding and showing the side panels. You can also move your mouse over to the far right side of your screen to get the panel restored but it will disappear when you move your mouse off the panel. There is also a small triangle on the left edge of the right panel that you can right click on in order to determine the show/hide behavior (I personally use the manual mode).
    Regarding the individual windows contained in the left/right panels, they can be opened and closed by clicking of the triangle that is displayed next to name of the tool in its header bar. While you can elect what modules will be shown on the LR Top panel, I am not aware of any mechanism to completely hide individual tools in the left/right panels. If all else failes, you can hit the Shift/Tab key combo a few times to restore all of your windows the the default behavior.

    robwouds:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Must be a hidden keyboard combination for temperature and tint. Not sure if the user can set different settings of each that the keystrokes will take you thru. Just hit the reset button in the Adjust pane to get it back to normal.
