White Balance Tint

I'll never make a slideshow, but one thing I find myself wanting to do with some frequency is to batch change Tint independent of Temperature.

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.

  • Aperture 2  and White Balance Tint

    Hello
    Has anyone else noticed the huge colour shift when making a White Balance Tint adjustment with AP2 on a new image?
    When I make an incremental (1 point) Tint adjustment for the first time on a new image the colour changes dramatically (similar to making a 20 point tint adjustment in one go). Hitting the Reset button and then making further incremental WB adjustments eliminates the problem - and everything is back to normal.
    This is happening on both my Nikon D3 and Canon 1DmkIII images, so, I don't think it's a camera specific problem.
    Anyone else?

    I am having the same issue. Clicking in the value box for Temp or Tint causes a big shift. Using the Temp slider causes the image to go green quite a bit. The eye dropper is not much better. It routinely goes warm by a few thousand degrees or gets a green tint.
    I called Apple and walked the tech through the issue and he was able to duplicate it and confirmed it is a bug. It is driving me crazy as I am spending way to much time fussing with white balance.

  • White Balance Tint Limit When Processing Raw Files

    Hi guys, following some recent suggestions I've got hold of some Welding glass to use as an ND filter on my Fuji HS20. It arrived today and works a treat.
    I do however now have a new issue that this has caused.  I've set a custom white balance on the camera to counter act the tint from the glass. This now produces the correct colour on my jpg photo's however the RAW files have the wrong colour tint.
    When I open them in photoshop elements 11 I get the CAMERA RAW application. The white balance is set to 'AS SHOT' however the Tint is at +150. I'm guessing my problem is that the tint needs to be more than +150 and CAMERA RAW is limiting it.
    Does this mean I am now limited to using JPG's when I use this glass as an ND filter, or is there a way I can get rid of this limit to the tint on the white balance

    I have exactly the same problem. The reply is to your question is not what you were asking, isnt it?
    The point is that we CAN NOT adjust the white balance as suggested, because the sliders are already at their maximum value when we open the photo in camera raw. We'd need to further increase the tint value (as the photo looks green) but it is by default at 150, so we cannot increase it further.
    One way to overcome the limitation of the tint/temp sliders is to save an intermediate tiff or psd file. You can open it in ACR and apply the same maximal slider correction.
    For the same purpose, instead of saving an intermediate file, I opened the raw file in the editor. From there, I used the Editinacr script in Elements+ to reopen the layer in ACR (shift f3 and script selection). Same corrections and back as a new layer in the editor. I could repeat the process several times to get a very powerful correction without intermediate files.

  • HELP White Balance Tint Shift

    My white balance brick produces a severe color shift. This just started yesterday after the ProApp 5.1 update. When I make an adjustment in the white balance brick the tint slider is all the way to the right (magenta) and shows a slight green tint. When I set the tint to 0 everything goes green. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. I'm just about at my last try with this program. I love everything about AP3 but I don't think I can take much more of all the issues. If anyone can offer some support I would greatly appreciate it.

    This is a new version, I have never used Aperture before I've been a LR user. I'm certain I'm looking is the correct location, below are the only Plist items that are in the following location <USER>/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • 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?

  • AUTO Tone vs. White Balance

    The AUTO button seems a bit too "insensitive" to changes of white-balance "tint". What I mean is that manual changes of tint need to change by a certain number before the AUTO Tone button becomes available again. There seem to be brackets of tint value (like -13 to +29 using the same AUTO Tone setting).
    What I noticed is that sometimes this may not be exact, for example changing between AUTO WB and Custom WB may not follow the same bracket and thus lead to slightly different AUTO Exposure results (0.05 difference only, though).
    On its own the Auto WB seems to be quite useful for us beginner by the way. I just used it on some old Samsung pocket-cam JPG that was seriously into the blue and liked the outcome.

  • White balance settings always display 5000K 0 Tint

    Been searching on this, found a few things, but nothing helpful.
    In the past few weeks, it appears that Aperture is no longer interpreting my cameras white balance settings properly. The colors themselves are fine, however, the adjustment applet always shows 5000k with 0 tint. I'm not quite sure when this started, but it's quite frustrating. This appears to be happening on everything newly imported. (I can only verify JPG at the moment, as I'm seeing this on a Canon S95 and 60D, which both don't have RAW support yet in Aperture).
    Anyone ever see this happen, or no of a solution? I'm using Aperture 3, latest updates etc. on OS X 10.6.4. My older files all appear fine, it's just these recents, from these two cameras. Unfortunately, I've sold my other gear, and don't have an older cam around to test. Either way, other products, Adobe, seem to be reading things properly.
    Thanks for any input.

    So all these files are JPEGs?
    Note that white balance works very differently with JPEGs and RAW files. There really is no "white balance" information in a JPEG, and you can't adjust them the same way. That's one of the big advantages of RAW files. I suspect once Aperture supports the RAW files for those cameras, then you'll get proper white balance. Until then, with JPEGs you're kinda SOL. It's a bunch more work. But that's the nature of the medium.

  • Command Click in edit changes color white balance and tint in edit

    Command Click in edit changes color white balance and tint in edit, what is happening?

    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.
    Do you Twango?

  • --- •• WORKING WHITE BALANCE FOR YELLOW TINT Z1 ••

    Hello Guys,
    I'm here to bring some HOPE for those users who won, I mean who got Z1 from the lottery yellow tint issue. I am an XDA user since then and I found a thread saying that the Japanese version of Xperia Z1 SO-01F got white balance settings yesterday and the OP ported it to our Z1 C69xx !
    I installed it and CONFIRMED ITS WORKING. Results are farm different from Screen Adjuster app from playstore and such where blue is really noticeably. Navigation bar also changes using this. Although I'm wondering why it has different sliders compared to those on Xperia Z (Hue and Saturation), it will give you a peace of mind that the nightmare has ended.
    Here are some screenies:
    You need to be ROOTED to have this, no other way. It's flashable through CWM but if you are just ROOTED and doesn't have CWM installed, you can just push the files to the folders and change permissions. (tell me if you need help on this one)
    Here's the original thread with the download link from XDA :

    It would be much better still if Sony will provide an official solution for this headache issue.

    Yes, we will add a setting for white balance in an upcoming version of the phones software planned for the beginning of next year (see my response here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1/Xperia-Z1-C6903-Display-Issue-Yellow-Hue-Tint/td-p/391521/pa...).
    I don't have any Japanese unit so i can't confirm if it has been added there already and what it looks like though.

  • Nokia 1020 Flash gives Yellow Tint - White Balance...

    I have the new Nokia Lumia 1020.  Unfortunately, every time I take a photo with the flash, it gives a yellow tint; the white balance is WAY off.  I called support and Nokia Support said to swap the phone, which I did at AT&T.  The 2nd phone has the same issue.  I searched online, and several others are having the same problem.
    When will a solution for this come out, assuming one will?
    Thanks.

    yep suffering from this too and there are quite a few threads popping up on the net about the issue too

    http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/08/14/lumia-1020-white-balance-issues-bring-yellow-tinged-photos-t...
    these are just the top hits on google and this is without the threads on your wn discussion board on this very website :-/
    now i love my 1020 just like i loved my nokia 808 but there is defo something wrong with the settings and jpeg processing on the 1020 
    on one of the forums i use a users examined the exif data of a yellow tinted image and the shutter speed was really slow and the iso really high , i think this is where the problem lies , on an xenon flash shot why is the phone choosing a very high iso and very slow shutter speed surely this will lead to polloution of the picture from other light sources hence the orange/yellow glow/tint to many pictures taken under ''fake'' lighting 
    In auto mode even with flash on, shutter speed is always 1/30 and ISO is pretty high (1000 or above). I don't know why these settings are this way with flash in Auto, but that seems to be the reason for the yellow tint.
    a user has come up with a fix which is 
     Try this: force flash on and then either set ISO to 400 or a fixed shutter speed of 1/100 or even faster. I noticed that the flash fires shorter and brighter that way. Surprise: yellow tint is gone.
    so as you can see the camera is simply selecting the wrong settings for the scene , why an earth is the camera selecting such a high iso and slow shutter speed for an xenon lit shot , surely thats ridiculous , it seems it to me 
    nokia please can you look into this asap 
    according to your response in this thread you have been aware of this for a while now and i know software can be very complex but this is something that needs to be fixed and is causing a lot of people hassle with the ''best camera phone'' the world has seen 
    i am sure it can be fixed easily via software and i look forwards to an update or resapinse from nokia about the issue 
    thanks for reading 

  • Why does daylight white balance add +10 to tint?

    Everytime I take a picture outside, import it into lightroom, and select daylight white balance, +10 is added to the tint and all my pictures have a reddish tint to them? I know I can just change the tint back to 0, but I was just wondering why they would do this? What benefit does it have? And can this setting be adjusted?

    Daylight is a fabulous earthy warm colour in California, in Cape Town and much of the Western Cape of South Africa, Australia is a little more reddy and the UK is very blue, great that a preset reckons that all these are the same!
    I'm talking from a RAW perspective here, I find JPEG just cant cope with selecting auto and then hoping to rescue colour balance (IMHO)
    I find for much of my landscape and arctitectural photography that I click daylight, look at it, click auto, look at that and then pick and choose, usually winding down the magenta close to zero as any shot with green life and foliage often look better with a tiny bit more green in them. However, any people shots need to be looked at as green people look like zombies, and the magenta can be a little more kind - certainly on white faces.
    So, use it carefully and sometimes the auto is reasonable, or a good place to tweak the magenta and warmth.

  • Removing blue cast/tint from JPG (wrong white balance setting while taking picture)

    Hi,
    Photosohop newb here, still using CS3 (10.0), so please be patient.
    I was at a convention not long ago, where I took lots of pictures with my phone. I only noticed at home, that a few of the pictures came out with an intense blue cast because of a bad white balance setting (I must have accidentally changed it).
    I was trying to fix the image for the last 2 hours, with no real luck. I tried everything under Image -> Adjustments -> "Auto Color", "Color Levels" and "Match Color", moving the sliders up and down to get the best match. The best I could come up with was still far away from the other pictures I took the same day.
    Here is one of the bad pictures: http://imgur.com/vw12aTQ
    And here is one I took just a minute later with the "normal" setting: http://imgur.com/RMFm7fo
    I actually got a pretty good match by cutting out some of the cobblestones from both pictures and using "Match Color" -> "Source", but I couldn't apply this technique to the whole picture.
    Could somebody please help me to make the colors of the first picture similar to the second one?
    Thank you,
    Roland

    Here's an easy fix...
    Choose Image - Adjust - Curves, then click the Gray Point dropper and sample something in the image that should be a neutral gray - say one of the stones on the ground.  Click in various places until you like what you see.

  • Can you remove the camera white balance setting in Aperture

    I have a Canon 7D and use Aperture for processing and storing my images.
    With the Canon I shoot both video and still and frequently adjust the white balance in the camera.  I make a frequent mistake in leaving the wrong white balance setting on - eg when taking video indoors in the evening  I set the white balance to indoors (the Canon seems poor at white balance decision making on video) and then I forget I'm not using auto white balance and switch to taking a photo with flash.  The result is a horrible blue photo - which if I don't spot the problem at the time seems very hard to correct afterwards.
    I use the Aperture white balance adjustments frequently but unless there is a patch or white or grey I an use the dropper on, I find this particular situation seems to be right off the scale of what I can fix in Aperture.  I end up with sliders at the extremes of the scales and no intuitive sense of what numbers to type in manually to try and get realistic colour - so I often end up discarding these photos even if the shot itself is something I'd like to use.
    So my question is given I'm importing RAW, is there a way to show the phoo without the (wrong) white balance setting I applied in the camera, to let me choose white balance from scratch?
    Or if not, do you have any advice about how to adjust from this very bluey unrealistic colour of image?

    Kirkby - thanks for the quick reply.
    Didn't know you could drag inside a value field - that's helpful.
    But being able to get different numbers on the slider isn't the root of my problem.
    In a specific example I have two photos - one taken with white balance set to flash and the photo was with flash, where after a bit of tweaking to get the colour I want the temp slider is at 5000K (and tint 0).  The second photo has my shooting error with interior lighting white balance but taken with flash.  The two shots were taken from almost the same point of the same view (but different people in frame).  The shot with the white balance error comes off camera horribly blue coloured. I can fiddle with the two sliders - I take temperature to 20000K and tint to 40 to do the best with it I can, and with those settings one of the two faces is approaching flesh colour but the wall behind the subjects (which is a light blue in reality) is now appearing light yellow in places.  I just can't get a good looking colour effect no matter ow extreme the slider settings.
    I may have phrased my question badly - as I totally agree you can't show a raw without a colour setting - so maybe I'm better asking to be able to use a different colour setting on the raw data rather than having to start with adjustments on top of my white balance mistake.
    Given the two shots were in the same place against the same background and the same lighting (both with flash) it seems to me I ought to be able to get a similar colour effect on both and I just can't.  To illustrate here are the two photos (the one on the left was shot with flash wb and in Aperture I'm viewing it with 5000K and 0 tint, the one on the right was shot with indoor wb and in Aperture I'm viewing it with 20000K and 40 tint and it looks terrible!)

  • White Balance Setting Problem

    APPLE COMPUTER:
    THREE BASIC QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED.
    1. HOW DOES THE WHITE BALANCE TOOL WORK IN APERTURE?
    2. HOW DO YOUR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS AND "PHOTOGRAPHIC CONSULTANTS" USE IT TO SET WHITE BALANCE?
    3. WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES AND/OR DIFFERENCES IN ITS USE AS COMPARED TO SIMILAR TOOLS IN CAPTURE ONE PRO AND ADOBE PHOTOSHOP?

    Test Results:
    Aperture 1.1:
    Image Temperature: 3594
    Tint: -17
    When using the white balance tool on a white section of a photo, the RGB values changed from R 255 G 234 B 192 to R 255 G 230 B 197 and the Temperature changed to 3946 and Tint to 12.
    The photo still remained unacceptable.
    When usint the white balance tool on a grey section of the same photo, the RGB values cahnge from R 211 G 178 B 126 to R 208 G 180 B 162 and the Temperatue changed to 3154 and Tint to 2.
    The photo still remained unacceptable but was notably improved.
    Using Capture One Pro, the results were as follows:
    Temperatue: 3850
    Tint: -10
    When using the white balance tool on a white section of the same photo, the RGB values changed from R 255 G 241 B 200 to R 244 G 244 B 244 and the Temperature changed to 2500 and Tint to -16.
    Photo was very acceptable with no perceivable colour cast.
    When using the white balance tool on a grey section of the same photo, the RGB values changed from R 190 G 153 B 108 to R 153 G 153 B 153 and Temperature to 2550 and Tint to -2.
    Photo was very acceptable with no perceivable colour cast.
    From this quick test on a photo, I can draw the following conclusions:
    1. Aperture interprets temperature and tint data differently from Capture One Pro, although this likely due to the use of a camera profile within Capture One Pro;
    2. Using the white balance tool in Aperture on a "white" section does not neutralize the RGB values;
    3. Using the white balance tool in Aperture on a "white" section does not correctly remove a colour cast within a photograph;
    4. Using the white balance tool in Aperture on a "grey" section does not neutralize the RGB values; and
    5. Using the white balance tool in Aperture on a "grey" section does not correctly remove a colour cast within a photograph, although it does work better.

  • White balance in kelvins

    Can anyone please explain the difference between adobe camera raw white balance settings (temperature and tint) and white balance in the camera which is measured in kelvins.
    let's say i like 5350 for temperature, and  -8 for tint white balance settings. how much would that be in kelvins on my camera?
    thank you

    Temperature = degrees Kelvin. That's the blue/yellow axis that refers to black body radiation as it heats up ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation ).
    Tint is just the other axis at 90 degrees to that. The tint axis is green/magenta.
    You adjust (fine-tune) along the same two axes in the D800, by moving the point vertically or horizontally. But camera and ACR won't necessarily agree as they interpret things a little differently. In any case: If you shoot raw, there's no need to make fine adjustments to this in camera. Do it in ACR. The camera white balance setting does not affect the sensor data or the file itself. ACR just reads the camera setting to get a rough starting point.
