White Balance - life and stamp - copy and paste????

It is criminal that I cannot figue out how to take the white balance from one image in a project and apply it to another image in a project. I am hunting the lift and stamp directions and all to no avail.
How do I do this? It is easy in C1 Pro or any other converter.

Short answer: click lift tool, click photo to transfer from, uncheck adjustments you don't want stamped, click photo to transfer to.
Longer answer:
1. Click the lift tool
2. Hover over a shot you want to copy anything from, and the cursor changes to an upward arrow. Click on the shot.
3. The cursor now changes to a down arrow when over any picture, indicating that Stamp is active. Uncheck any adjustments or other info you do NOT want to stamp, and click on the photo. Checked adjustments will be stamped.
Make sure you choose Add or Replace in the popup to add or replace the adjustments you're stamping (this setting is usually only relevant to metadata for me).

    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?

  • White Balance tool and Camera Calibration Profiles

    Downloaded Lightroom v4 Beta 1 for mac but the installer package failed to launch. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.) So I've only watched the adobe tv presentations todate.
    Anyway just wanted to give some feedback as a pro photographer about use of Lightroom and improvments I would like to see in the next version.
    I am a commercial photographer who needs colour accuracy in photographing fashion/garment images - most of my work is reproduced on a printing press for catalogues and brochures. On average a shoot will yeild about 500 images for a client, so workflow is important as they normally want them all!
    As a previous user of Capture One Pro v6 and now lightroom v3.6 - the biggest issue I have with Lightroom is the dominace of red tint when setting the white balance from a gray card reference image, shot at the same time as the images to be processed. I'm not adding anything to the images other than doing a white balance, a tweak on exposure and camera neutral setting on profiles.
    To obtain a white balance setting I use the combination of an  Xrite white balance card and the Q-Card and the old fasioned Kodak Gray cards all mounted on the same surface. I've used spot and ambient light readings on the gray cards to measure exposure and I've used the Adobe DNG Profiler and the Xrite colour checker profiler with the large colour checker card as a reference, (I've made profiles for sunny days, cloudy days, dual illuminant etc etc) and I'm viewing my images on a colour calibrated apple monitor.
    Not withstanding all of the above the best results I get out of Lightroom are using the camera profile neutral setting! Everthing else is just too red!! even though the images do look more punchy; for accuracy of actual colour I choose the camera neutral profile.
    Well when I say best results, those for colour critical garment photography and skin tones, these results are similar to those obtained from capture one pro v6.
    So for the Lightroom v4 I would like to see.
    1. White balance RGB values in numbers rather than percentages.
    2. Add and delete a colour readouts points with a dropper tool on an image to enable more acurate colour balancing particularly in shadow areas - (already available on capture one pro and adobe photoshop)
    3. Curves adjustments in all RGB channels (think you've done this)
    4. Output to CMYK profiles.
    5. Individual levels channel adjustment for RGB
    6. Ability re-organize my tools palette (add and remove) is per Capture One and Photoshop
    Regards

    The legacy ACR X.x profiles are no more produced nor included for newer cameras (AFAIK, since ACR 5.1/LR 2.1). The Adobe Standard is the new default starting point for these.
    While I am at it....are the Canon camera profiles I downloaded for the 1Ds MKII the same as for the 5D MKII or do I have to download different one...I suspect they are the same or Lightroom wouldn't offer them to me...is that correct?
    The profiles are different for each camera model, even if they share the same name in the Calibration panel. If you can see them when developing 5DII files, it means the camera-specific profiles are installed for your particular camera model (otherwise, you wouldn't see them).

  • White balance doesn't change when I paste my copy.

    When I use preferences or copy paste, my white balance doesn't come with the paste or preference. Is there anybody who knows what could be the problem? (I've checked white balance in the box).

    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • White balance, Export and shutterfly

    I thought I was doing everything right with the holiday family shots: shot RAW, then corrected white balance as needed (often, cool them down slightly) in LR3.3 Develop.  A test print (color managed by LR) on my home inkjet looked just like on-screen, color-temp wise.  Then, to crank out a stack of 4x6s for family, I Exported jpgs (sharpened for glossy), and uploaded to Shutterfly (actually, Published them using a 3rd-party add-on).  The resulting prints from the lab are MUCH warmer than the test prints or screen.
    OK, ok, you get what you pay for. But...before I blame one vendor and start trying others:  is this Shutterfly et al applying their own corrections? Or is there something I'm overlooking in the Export/Publish stage? TIFF vs JPGs?
    This is NOT another "why aren't my prints like the screen" thread -- stuff is calibrated and my prints at home DO look like the on-screen image, thank you.
    TIA

  • White balance presets and other random questions

    Hi,
    I'm new to aperture and I had a few questions:
    1) Is there a white balance preset, i.e. daylight, shade etc, or do you manually have to dial these numbers in each time?
    2) Is there another color meter aside from the loupe? Something that I can leave on the same spot in the image while I'm trying to correct color?
    3) I have roughly 5000 nef images on a second hard drive on my G5, is there a way to keep the library external (like Lightroom), or do I have to reimport all of these images in to aperture's library?
    4) Where does the image library like to live – where will it be fastest? Should it be on the startup drive, or is there a speed advantage to putting it on a secondary drive (like photoshop)?
    Cheers,
    G5 Dual 2.0g   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   macbook pro 2.0g

    Hi Ned(bot?),
    1) Unfortunately, no. You have to dial these in each time. If you dial it in for one image you can lift and stamp to others, but it's a bit hit or miss.
    2) The color meter is always active -- check near the histogram, it shows the RGB and L values for each pixel... this has been since 1.1.
    3) You must import the images into Aperture's library. Note Aperture can have multiple libraries... the only thing is to switch between them you need to make a preference change and re-launch Aperture. For the photos to be accessible from other applications, while inside Aperture's library, you can either make a smart folder which exposes them from the Finder, or you can use a tool like iView Media Pro which can peer inside Aperture's library (which is really just a folder).
    4) On a desktop machine, the library will be fastest on the internal drive. On a laptop -- it depends... A Firewire 800 connection to a 7200 RPM disk will be faster than an internal 4200 or 5400 RPM drive... a Firewire 400 connection may be slower. Does your MBP have a 5400 or 7200 RPM internal drive? The latter is better, but the difference won't be colossal.

  • Premiere Elements 13 Eyedropper for white balance, gray, and black NOT WORKING. Help!

    I'm using Premiere Elements 13.1 on an iMac, and trying to adjust the white balance on a clip with ZERO success.  The main reason for this is that I cannot utilize the "eyedropper" selector; I know what should appear white, gray, and black, but cannot select those items.
    In the Three-Way Color Corrector there are Eyedroppers to use to specify areas of known color range. I have tried without success to select ANY of the eyedroppers...
    I have clicked on it - NOTHING
    I have held the left mouse on it and attempted to drag it onto the frame - NOTHING
    I have right-clicked it - NOTHING
    The eyedroppers are not greyed out and they do respond when clicked. I have hit Reset button galore. I have restarted the program.
    I have held my mouth funny - NOTHING :-)
    When my cursor is hovering over the tool, it changes to an eyedropper. If I click, nothing happens when the cursor is moved - the cursor changes right back into its regular arrow shape. The cursor does nothing to the image if an item is clicked....there is no change to anything on the monitor.
    I am a longtime Photoshop user but new to Premiere Elements. This dropper seems to work nothing like the PS ones. In fact, it doesn't work at all...so far.
    Can someone please tell me what I need to do to simply select the eyedropper and take it onto the image and select the white (or gray or black)??? Before I go bananas (may be too late)? THANK YOU!

    Still not working. I think the root cause of the problem is the mechanics of using the tool itself; I hope this screen shot shows up below ...
    Here I have APPLIED EFFECTS open, and have selected Midtones (Greys) to be expanded so that the eyedropper and other details appear:
    Now, just below where it has a box and "Impacted frame area in white" (which I know is a checkbox allowing the area effected to be seen), there is a little color box and an eyedropper.
    What EXACTLY do I do to select (activate) the eyedropper and subsequently tell the program what I feel should be grey in the selected clip?
    As mentioned before, I can click it and the cursor briefly changes to the same shape as the eyedropper. But as soon as I move the cursor a fraction, it changes back to an arrow (normal cursor) shape. Even then, going to the area I need to select in the image, and then clicking it, does exactly nothing to the appearance of the image shown -- even if the colors start way off. No correction at all. It is as if the tool does nothing. The color wheels below all this DO work however - it's just the eyedropper that doesn't do anything. This just cannot be Adobe's intention. I am convinced there must be some flaw in how I am selecting the tool itself. And the user guide - needless to say - is worthless in explaining the mechanics.
    So very frustrating. This appears to be the only thing wrong with the program - nothing else seems amiss.
    NOTE: To add insult to injury, this promised white/gray/black balance feature and the three-way-color corrector is the SOLE REASON I purchased the software. Funny.

  • Aperture 1.5.2 white balance broken and render it totally useless!!!

    I really like Aperture a lot. However, Aperture is totally screwed up in white balance. I have been using Aperture for a few months now, but I don't seem to have found any work-around for its erratic white balance.
    I shoot using a Nikon D200. To verify my concern of its erratic white balance setting, I shot a piece of white paper under controlled and commom lighting.
    1. 6500K light source. D200 set to 6700K for one shot. Calibrate using the white paper using the custom preset setting and take another shot My D200 always nail the white balance with the custom preset function.
    2. About 2650K household incandescent light. One shot with Auto WB setting. Another one with Tungsten -1 setting. Yet one more with 2650K setting.
    None of them came out right in Aperture. The white-balance eye-dropper is totally useless. I never can equalize the RGB channel. I open them up in Nikon Capture NX and they are all accurate.
    Now how complicated can shooting a white piece of paper get? Is Apple reinnovating white balance? Aperture seems to be the only RAW converter in the world that gets this basic RAW functional totally wrong. Is Canon user having the same problem?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   3G RAM

    The same images out of my D200 looks accurate and fine with Nikon Capture NX. So I doubt that it's a problem of the camera itself.
    There are really multiple problems with white balance in Aperture. First, it doesn't interpret the WB setting from NEF raw file correctly. It displays a wrong WB setting to begin with. That asides. Let's assume I don't mind that and have learned to live with it. However, the WB eye-dropper is too erratic. It just refuses to neutralize the point I click on. What's up with that? Lightroom and Capture NX both did it spot on.
    I have to admit that Aperture's rendering is slightly better than Lightroom's, but only when I don't need to correct the WB. As soon as I use the WB eye-dropper, it screws it up! This is driving me nuts. I just wasted $300 and a few months of time.
    I have started to pray and I'll start going back to church on Sunday if it means it will get fixed...
    Can someone from Apple confirm that this problem is being addressed? Switching RAW processor is as expensive as switching camera system. Apple, please, if you're really listening to your customer.

  • White balance temp and tint readings on hub

    Maybe I'm missing something. Aperture does not seem to show actual color temp or tint of specific photos on the adjustnment hub. Reads 0 tint and 5,000 k. Is there an option to activate the hub to display tint or temp similar to ACR?

  • White Balance Tint and Temp Adjustment in 2.0

    Not to thrilled with this adjustment so far. The 1.5 version seemed to be more granular, permitting finer adjustment. The adjustment in 2.0 seems to be all or nothing.
    Otherwise I'm very happy with 2.0.
    Anyone else finding the tint & temp adjustment awkward?

    The Aperture User Manual (PDF) on p. 332 describes the use of sliders and "value sliders". Value sliders can be adjusted using small or large increments. Click once on the value field, then mouse down and drag to use a value slider. If you hold down the Option key while dragging, the values will change in small increments. If you hold down the Shift key while dragging, the values will change in large increments.
    I have no idea why you you are seeing such large changes when you use the regular sliders, but pressing the Option key while using the Temp or Tint value sliders may work around the problem. Good luck, and please let us know if this works.

  • Video white balance levels not showing, so video effects and color editing won't work

    I've watched white balance tutorials, and I tried clicking the dropper onto the viewer to change the color. But, in the gray box above it there are normally red green and blue lines, but I have nothing there. I think this is preventing any edits to my color balance, can anyone help?

    Well, no offense, but you seriously should read the C4D help. That's normal specular shading behavior and it is uniform acroos the plane because you obviously haven't defined any scene lights and use the default viewport light. Read up on how to create materials and adjust there properties and then learn the fine art of scene lighting as well as how to use object buffers to isolate objects with multipass renders.

  • 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?

  • Adjustment panels for Exposure and White balance have dissapeared

    I have been using Lr 5.3 to adjust some RAW images.  My Develope pane is now missing the pane for White balance, hue and also the pane for Exposure, Contrast, highlights etc adjustments.  I don't know how this happened or how to restore them.  I am using iMac.
    Cheers

    There is a little known feature in Lightroom to hide/unhide those panels.
    Sounds like the Basic panel has been inadvertently set to hidden. It's a common issue posted in this forum almost weekly.
    Right click anywhere below the Histogram in the Develop module and click "Basic" to unhide that panel.

  • Another white balance presets/settings question

    (this is related to two other posts regarding white balance presets, but didn't want to hijack those threads with my own specific questions...)
    i've got a canon s70, and have been messing around with a friends copy of aperture. the raw files of my camera are recognized (though the aperture camera support page identifies it as not optimized support), but the problem is that the white balance settings in camera are ignored.
    when i view a raw file from my camera in aperture, the exif data shows that it is recognizing different white balance settings (various numbers are displayed here, for example, 1 for auto, 3 for tungsten, 6 for manual, etc). however, the temp. and tint settings are the same for all the images, regardless of wb setting (5278K temp, -18 tint).
    so, here are my questions:
    - is there any setting i'm missing that would let aperture correctly interpet the wb temp for a specific setting? in another thread regarding canon cameras and wb someone stated that aperture reads wb 'as shot', but it seems odd that it would recognize these different wb settings but apply the same temp and tint calculations across the board.
    -i noticed that i can create white balance presets and apply them manually. i was wondering if it's possible to apply preset wb settings automatically. for example, is it possible to create an approximate wb setting for 'tungsten' (3), and then have it applied to all images with the '3' setting, either automatically on/immediately after import, or through an applescript or automator action?
    while i could use lightroom, atm lightroom is lacking some features that i crucial to my wider image management/workflow needs (though it does correctly interpret my white balance settings). aperture seems like the best bet for me, but i would rather not go through my library of raw files and manually change the wb settings for each image.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't know about your other white balance issue, but yes, you can apply a white balance to a selection of images.
    Create a set of WB presets (one for daylight, cloudy, fluorescent, tungsten etc.). This takes moments and will be available on any future occasion.
    Select and apply your WB preset to an image
    Fine tune as needed (since in-camera auto white balance or presets often do not nail it)
    Select Lift/Stamp tool
    Click on your adjusted image
    In the Lift/Stamp HUD, deselect all adjustments except the WB
    Select all target images
    Click "Stamp Selected Images" button in the Lift/Stamp HUD

  • Adjust white balance for multiple images at once?

    Is this possible to adjust the white balance for multiple images at the same time?
    Or adjust the exposure for that matter?

    Of course, this is similar to the question you asked in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3964192#3964192
    except use White Balance instead of Exposure. For others who might be wondering the same thing:
    1) Set the White Balance for one image.
    2) Select all of the images you want to copy the White Balance to.
    3) Type "O" to initiate the Lift & Stamp HUD
    4) Click on the image with the White Balance you want to copy with the with the L&S up arrow.
    5) In the L&S HUD uncheck all the checkboxes except Adjustments.
    6) Click on the disclosure triangle to the left of Adjustments. If there are other adjustment settings besides White Balance listed, select them and delete them with the delete key.
    7) Once all you have is Adjustments White Balance in the L&S HUD, then click the "Stamp Selected Images" button in the L&S HUD.
