Forced White balance during tethered capture

I have updated the Lightroom to the latest and greatest. I am not sure that this was a problem before, but heres the scoop. I have built a preset to be applied during tethered capture. I have unchecked the white balence check box in the preset settings. After I save it, I applied it to the tethered capture floating bar. The gofy things is that when I shoot, all the things I asked for happen, except the white ballence. It forces this yucky uber warm white balance. Just to make sure it was not shot that way, I then selected "as shot". It immediatly went to the color of the shoot and looks great. I have tried re saving it, I tried turning off other color options (thinking that somehow they might be related in some odd way) but no go. I know that there are many little gotchas in LR and I do pretty well with rooting them out, but I am at a loss on this one. Thanks.

When you select 'As Shot' do the Temp and Tint settings change? How about other settings, do any of them change? Just trying to determine what is actually causing the color change.
Did you try creating a new preset with the same settings, and see how it behaves when you uncheck White Balance? The original preset file may have been corrupted (i.e. damaged) and resaves are not fixing it. If this doesn't resolve the problem then it is likely a bug with tethered mode operation. Please let us know.

Setting and holding White balance during tethered shooting

I came to Apeture from Capture One Pro. I used Capture when working for a photo studio, when I started shooting for myself I went with the much more affordable Apeture. I have been very happy with the workflow, but Apeture seems to be missing one of most basic settings for tethered shooting, setting and maintaining custom gray balance. I realize that I can shoot a frame with a gray card and white balance that frame, but the following frames revert to the pre-whitebalanced color settings. In Capture One, I would balance my first frame to a gray card, even add a manual tweek, and all subsequent frames would follow the new color settings. Perhaps there is a setting I have missed, some sort of automatic inheriting of the last frames adjustments. I realize that it is easy enough to adjust my color settings after the fact, but my color is off during shooting, and clients are not always able to envision the finished product. I really hope I'm missing something, because it's the most important feature to me for shooting tethered, right after the ability to shoot tethered.

Bridge CS5 applies wrong white balance during thumbnail extraction (raw files only)

Hello to all Adobe Wizards,
Hobbiest photographer here. I use a Canon T2i and I have been shooting raw with auto white balance.
After I upload the CR2 files to Bridge, Bridge begins thumbnail extraction. This is when the problem begins: I watch Bridge extracting thumbnail photo after photo, turning them into wrong white balance one by one. After Bridge is done, I open one of these photos in Camera Raw, it shows the photo in "custom white balance". I was able to change it back to "As Shot". But every photo in Bridge now has custom white balance and is difficult to view in Bridge. This screenshot shows what my Bridge looks like after thumbnail extraction....
Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I took some photos with different white balance settings on the camera. I uploaded them to Bridge and Bridge over-wrote all the white balance settings. I then imported the same photos (from the same files) to iPhoto, they show up with correct write balance. Please see the second screenshot.
The third screenshot shows a unedited photo I opened from Bridge to Camera Raw, and the same photo as it appears in iPhoto, both unedited.
Again, this only happens to CR2 files. All tif, jpeg files are fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Wolfie

Any ideas?
First of all, shooting Raw has the benefit of changing the color temperature (Whit Balance) to what ever you like from whatever you shot in camera.
To me it seems you once have saved a custom white balance as default setting and this is been applied to every new file because you told Bridge to do so. The easiest way to get out of this is open a raw file in ACR and in the basic tab at the right side you see a small icon for sub menu (next to the word basic). Click on it and from the row choose 'Reset Camera Raw defaults' at the bottom.
Also decide whether you want to stay in 16 bit mode (as you are now as shown in the blue line under the preview). If you want to chance it back to 8 bit just click on that blue line and choose your options from that menu. You only have to do this once for the files from that same camera, ACR remembers the settings for you.
Using 16 bit mode has advantages when using critical color corrections (but then you also should change the color mode to ProPhoto in my opinion). The disadvantage is that 16 bit doubles the file size compared to 8 bit
Having set the ACR defaults should effect your thumbs immediately by building new thumbs and previews but if not you must choose purge cache for folder from the menu tools / cache/ purge cache for folder. Now the new settings will be applied.
It may take some time so let Bridge do its work properly before starting other jobs in Bridge (see the activity bar bottom left to check if Bridge is still caching).

White circles in picture when using flash

When I take a picture using the flash, I get large white circles in the picture. The circles are perfectly round. They are always in the same location.
Zooming in changes the size of the circles.
I have only had the phone for a month. This just started happening a couple of days ago.

Zooming in simply enlarges the image so the circles will appear larger.
If it's only on the image when you use flash, the sensor is obviously fine so I would suggest an issue with the rear of the camera...maybe a film or smearing around the flash itself?
If not, please post an image somehow

5800 Video capture - disable white balance

Hi
Anyone know a way to turn white balance off when capturing video - it is really annoying as the video keep readjusting to every change really obviously!
Cheers

That's ALC (automatic level control).
White balance is what adjusts the overall tint (not brightness) of the picture according to the type of ambient light. For example, neon light gives everything a green tint, so the "camera" compensates for this.

Can I keyframe white balance?

I have a piece of footage that shifts white balance during the shot and i need to be able to keyframe the change as it happens, but the color panel does not allow me to do this? i know i can do it with hue/saturation filter but it's just not accurate enough. does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks...

I know, i was hoping the color correction would move more towards photoshop, not coral draw! no levels keyframe or even brightness contrast.. just hue/saturation and a bunch a useless funky dunky filters! I had a sweet spot a few hours ago where i thought i might be able to get things done on this and as soon as i got serious the app just cracked and fell about my feet on the floor. really don't want to go back to 7 but i think i'm going to have to. they've basically designed it for third party products to make money selling through the app store, and they're not out yet.

White Balance "As Shot"

Hello!
Not sure if this has been brought up before.
After importing about 20 shots of the same subject, I realised that the camera's white balance sensor only captured the WB correct in one of them. As I was shooting RAW, it shouldn't be a problem to change the other 19 files to match the one that's correct.
Using the "synchronising" function doesn't do the job as ALL photos had been imported with WB set to "As shot". LR thinks there is nothing to synchronise as the setting "As shot" is already the same on all files!
Is there a way to tell the program that it should synchronise the actual Kelvin temperature and NOT the "As shot" setting? A way 'round it seems to to manually change the WB of the correct shot and then manually change it back to the previous value and synchronise the other photos to it afterwards. This is not very straightforward though!
I would appreciate seeing this issue resolved in the next update.
Many Thanks
Frank

Select "custom" on the master image before syncing.

Nikon D800 Flash White Balance

When RAW files (either NEF or DNG) taken with the setting Flash White Balance, they are imported into either Lightroom(4) or Photoshop(CS6) with a temperature of 6150K. This does not coincide with the Nikon default of 5400K. If the Nikon Software (View NX2) is used, the white balance shows that the Flash setting was used and the image appears identical when their 5400 default is applied. In Lightroom, or in CS6, if the temperature number is changed to reflect the Nikon default number of 5400K, the color of the image dramatically changes. If the temperature is left at 6150K, the image appears virtually identical to what Nikon calls 5400K.
The issue, a minor one, seems to be that the Adobe products are applying an incorrect Kelving Temperature number to the files. It is disconcerting to see the wrong temperature displayed in the software, but the number can be ignored without any negative effects; and the number can be modified to produce a more pleasing balance.
I am writing only because it took some experimentation and time to come to these conclusions. I wasn't clear, at first whether the camera was at fault, or if the software was producing the issue. It would be beneficial to have the issue addressed and corrected.
Incidentally, all the other White Balance settings from the camera seem to translate accurately into the Adobe Software.

Nikon's white balance numbers are confusing. Nikon list Direct Sunlight as 5200 degrees and Flash as 5400 degrees - no values are listed for tint. If you open an NEF file with Nikon Capture NX2 and select Direct Sunlight for the white balance it will list 5200 degrees with tint of 0 for the white balance, and if you select Flash it will list 5400 degrees and a tint of 0. You can adjust these values with sliders, and if you adjust the Flash values to 5200 degrees with a tint of 0 you do not get the same colors in the image as you get with Direct Sunlight selected which has the identical temperature and tint values.
I don't find any agreement between Nikon's white balance values and what you get with Adobe RAW processing software. I don't find the presets in Adobe Software (Daylight, Flash, etc) very useful because they don't appear correct for the camera's I have. I shot images (NEF Files) with every preset available in the camera selected and saved the white balance values as presets in Adobe Camera RAW. I also find the Camera profiles more useful than Adobe Standard.

Nikon D700 White balance importing issues

Hi Guys,
I am using a nikon d700 with Lightroom 3.2 If I shoot tethered, the correct white balance appears and gets loaded in Lightroom, but if I import them after the shoot, from the card, it loads a completely different white balance value and I have to go back and correct them one by one. I am not using any profile, just leave it on the standard Adobe version because the Nikon profiles are significantly reducing the quality on raw file. Does someone have an idea what I am doing wrong to be able to load the correct white balance during importing?
Thanks

Are you shooting RAW? If so there is no WB embedded in a RAW file, you set the WB in LR. Setting "As Shot" and a calibration profile that matches the camera setting (if one exists) will usually closest to the wb embedded in a jpg produced by the camera processing.
You may want to check out the FAQ, this one is pertinent.

Aperture white balance only goes to 2500 where Lightroom goes to 2000

I shoot with a Leica M8, which has poor white balance. I was unable to remove red cast with aperture, while Ligthroom had no problems. I noticed the white balance sliders in aperture only go to 2500. Lower numbers can be input manually, but that prevents sliding until right. Is there any way to adjust the slider settings?

Robo,
Hover your mouse over the NUMBERS and then click and drag. It'll take you down to 2000 if you drag to the left, and if you drag to the right you'll increase the temperature, as well. Only the sweet spots are shown.

I have an iPhone 4S-whenever I take a picture using the flash, all I get is a white blob-pictures without the flash are fine. I tried using different cases, thinking a bounce off the case might be the problem, but the same thing happens. Any suggestions

I have an iphone 4s - whenever I take a picture using the flash, all I get is a white "blob". Pictures without the flash are fine. I thought the flash bouncing off the case might be the problem, but when I used different cases I still had the same problem. Any suggestions?

White Balancing pictures under heavy blue lighting

I am looking at LightRoom to process RAW images from my D3100. I'll be shooting my reef aquarium which is under heavy blue lighting (about 450nm). I can balance the pictures in Capture NX2, however in Lightroom the settings are maxed when using the dropper against an 18% grey card and the picture is not completely balanced.
any suggestions on how I can balance beyond the max of the sliders, or alternatives to balancing?
here is an old picture of the first day I got the lights and was learning the new camera - pre (JPG version from shooting RAW+JPG) and post balance on the RAW picture done in NX2:
*** note that the tank doesn't look this blue, I'm learning that our eyes see things differently than the camera.
Thanks!

Just a couple of thoughts:
1. Marine Aquarium lighting (particularly reef-friendly lighting systems) doesn't always broadcast a full spectrum of light. In the same way, gymnasium sodium vapor lights do not broadcast all the colors of the continuous spectrum. In less-than-full spectrum lighting it can be nearly impossible to white balance as you are missing key color components.
2. Water absorbs different colors of light at different rates. What is balanced at the top of an aquarium may be deficient at the bottom of an aquarium. It is possible to have a graduated differential in your white balance in a single shot if you cover a sufficient range of depth. As you go deeper in the tank, the ambient lights (fluorescents and/or tungsten) start to become significant to the overhead aquaria lights.
Neither of those solves your issue today but it should suggest that you might have to live with these limitations when photographing aquarium where you cannot provide your own light.

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.

Fixing white balance when it varies during video.

Hi there, I was shooting video for a while and I think the sensor on my Canon 5D Mark II overheated and it turned the white balance from my manual setting to green (gradually). Then it turned back. This happened a few times in the video. Is there a way to correct the overall white balance by setting a degrees kalvin that is followed throughout? Help is much appreciated thanks.

Broken monitor profile, affects only Lr and other color managed applications. Run your calibrator again, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB for now.
Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices:
EDIT: unless of course you have a preset applied on import.
