Lightroom :: White Balance Copy / Paste - Absolute Or Relative Value?

Mar 19, 2013

The question is basically when you copy the White Balance setting from one image and paste it into another, is the pasted setting an absolute value or a relative value?
 
For example... I import three RAW images, each shot with Auto White Balance.
 
Image #1 is a gray card and with a WB of 6500K.Image #2 is a product shot with a WB of 6000KImage #3 is a product shot with a WB of 6200K 

Let's say I adjust the WB in Image #1 to 6400K - an adjustment of -100K from the "as shot" WB.
 
When I copy those WB settings from Image #1 to Images #2 and #3, will the target images get an absolute value of 6400K? Or an adjustment of -100K?
 
Would I have:

Image #1 = 6400KImage #2 = 6400KImage #3 = 6400K 
... or ... 
Image #1 = 6400KImage #2 = 5900KImage #3 = 6100K

Lightroom :: Paste Command Does Not Always Work With White Balance?

Jul 12, 2012

I finally figured out why LR sometimes ignores the paste command and if not a bug, it is at least a problem that can adversely affect the unsuspecting user.  Pasting a WB does not always work if both the source/target are both "As Shot", and yet the Temp/Tint are still different.  It seems priority should be given to the actual numbers instead of the As shot status, which (in my case) could vary between cameras.  The logic is a bit strange.
 
I can see how whether or not this is a bug is debatable, but it seems more useful to have it work the other way.  There should at least be a message when the paste command results in no expected action (I expect the actual WB numbers to take priority over "as shot").

AutoCad :: Arc (start-2nd-end Point) Absolute Or Relative Coordinates?

Sep 5, 2011

I have a problem with absolute and relative coordinate regarding drawing an arc.

From my previous studies, I thought whenever I input coordinates in command line, in order to use absolute coordinates I just enter them. If I want to use relative coord, then I can prefix them with @ sign.

For an arc I input as follows: start point: 0,0 2nd point: 500,500 end point: 1000,0. I was expecting to get a half circle from origin to 1000,0 point but to my surprise I find out that CAD gets the input coordinates as relative.

Am I missing something? 1.dwg1.jpg Is this behavior same for all other object drawings?

AutoCad 2D :: Tracking From First Point With Relative Instead Of Absolute Coordinates

Jun 5, 2013

Having trouble recently with tracking,For example if i start the line tool, and track from a point, i am given absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates from that initial point. Absolute coordinates are not much useful to me, I want to be able to start a line at a certain distance from another point.

Lightroom :: Changes RAW White Balance Upon Import?

Jun 26, 2012

I'm new to Lightroom so bear with me. My problem lies in the import process: each time I import, a yellow tint (tungsten WB) is added to each photo, as if the white balance is being changed. I know that thumbnails are created in camera, but the photos look fine when Lightroom is "loading" them on the library screen, it is only when the "loading" message goes away that they look too yellow. I don't want to apply an import preset because I fear that each photo's problem is unique. When I use quicklook in finder, the images look fine. When I export as a jpeg from LR, the problem persists. Here's what I'm using:
 
Camera: Canon T2i (Color Space: sRGB)
Lightroom: Version 4.0
Computer: Macbook Pro, Snow Leopard
 
I've read that this could be caused by a corrupt color profile, but I'm not sure how to change this on a Mac and if it's appropriate to apply sRGB as a monitor profile.

Lightroom :: White Balance During Import?

Jan 28, 2014

I just bought a new computer and i have been running LR5 on a Lenovo b540 aio pc. i had no issues on this machine other than slow processing and lag due to insufficient memory and processor. my new machine is a standard desktop with a seperate monitor. when i installed LR5.3 and import files, they turn out to be a very "manilla envelope" color  but not until after importing them. i dont understand why this is happening. it is probably something very simple that i am overlooking.

Lightroom :: Can Select Different Areas For White Balance

Mar 24, 2013

LR3.4.I have a whole selection of photos that were taken at an event where there was 2 types of lighting, so the people in the back of the shots have a warm orangey glow and the people at the front have the day light. What would be ideal option to adjust the white balance on 2 separate areas, but I can't seem to find this in Lightroom? is it possible or will I need to export 2 versions and merge in photoshop etc?

Lightroom :: White Balance Selector Reading?

Jul 15, 2013

Is it possible to change a setting or preference in Lightroom so that the white balance selector tool will give a 0-255 value reading, instead of a 0-99 value?  Having that option would allow users to better correlate their readings with what will show up once  the images is analyzed with Photoshop's eyedropper tools and info window.

Lightroom :: 4 White Balance Tool Changes To Magnifying Glass

Mar 6, 2012

I just upgrade to LR 4.  However  in the develop module, whenever I choose my white balance tool and then hover over the image it changes to the magnifying glass.  If I click, all it does is zoom in and out.  The circle where the WB tool lives, is blank like it usually is when the tool is selected.

I've checked for stuck keys and still have same result.

Lightroom :: Partial White Balance Sliders Missing

Nov 12, 2013

I'm using LR 5.2 and have seen tutorials where local white balance adjustments are possible with the graduated filter or brush tool.
 
With my LR these sliders are missing. I can change saturation, contrast, etc., but not the white balance. Could this not be part of the student version? The screenshot to the left shows my screen, the one to the right shows the sliders I'm looking for.

Lightroom :: 4 White Balance Numbers Differ With Nikon D4 And D3s

Feb 13, 2013

I've noticed that LR interprets the white balance settings differently for my raw .nef files coming from my Nikon D3s and D4 bodies; even when a specific kelvin temp is chosen in camera.
 
Here's a few examples:
 
D4 flash WB, LR shows as 6150, +2
 
D3s flash WB, LR shows as 6400, +9
 
D4 WB set to 5k, LR reads as 4750, +1
 
D3s WB set to 5k, LR reads as 4900, +10
  
why this is happening, and what (if anything) I should do to get xxxx kelvin temp in camera to import as xxxx kelvin temp in LR?

Lightroom :: 5 - Cannot Find White Balance While Using Local Adjustment Tools

Dec 11, 2013

I just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 5. I want to change the white balance (temp and tint) using local adjustment brush but when I take a new brush, all I can change is
 
1. Exposure
2. Brightness
3. Contrast
4. Saturation
5. Clarity
6. Sharpness
7. Color
 
The Temp and Tint buttons that should appear on the top of this tool are not present. As shown below....
 
Similarly, as per some youtube videos, in the Basic tools, I should get
 
1. Highlights
2. Shadows
3. Whites
4. Blacks
 
Instead I get
 
1. Recovery
2. Fill light
3. Blacks
 
As shown below.

Why is there such differences in the option? Is this because it is a trial version?

Lightroom :: 4.4 - White Balance Selector Disappears When Moved Across Image

Jun 1, 2013

I am using LR 4.4 on an iMac. Why the White Balance Selector tool would disappear when moved across an image?
 
it seems to change to a vertical line with an arror top and bottom.
 
The areas of the image on which it disappears seem to be consistent, in other words, it disappears on the same portion of the image eveytime.
 
UPDATE: Since posting the above a few minutes ago I've noticed that my cursor is behaving eractically. For example, on a different image to the one used above, in the library module using the Loupe the cursor changes from a magnifying glass to an arrow pointing to the right.  It does this on the same part of the image every time.

Lightroom :: When Importing DNG Files As Shot White Balance Value Lost

Oct 13, 2013

Issue I have of 'As Shot' WB value being lost when I import images into LR 5.2
 
Set-up: Leica M9-P (firmware v1.194); Summicron f2 50mm; LR 5.2;

Image capture WB value set to 5000k; ISO 160; DNG file capture
 
Everytime I import the DNG files it sets the WB value to the last value I had the slider set to and not the value I have set on my camera.

I have tried reloading the firmware on the camera just in case it wasn't saving the value in the file but this has not worked.

I use LR on two separate MacBook Pro laptops using a common catalogue and image library stored on a single external hard drive. The problem occurs on both computers.
 
It's hugely frustrating. I want to be able to adjust the value on the camera depending on the local light situation at the time of taking the shot and have this setting transfer into LR5.2 at time of imort. At the moment I am having to keep a manual note of the image number and setting so that I can recreate it in LR once imported.

Lightroom :: Set White Balance In Camera (Nikon D90) To Color Temp Of Strobes

Jul 14, 2012

I am an underwater photographer and white balance is an important issue. I was advised to set the white balance in my camera (Nikon D90) to  the color temp of my strobes ( 4800 K) so my subject lighted by by strobes would have the correct color. When I import the RAW (NEF) file into lightroom I would expect that the color temp shown in develop mode would be 4800 K.
 
Unfortunately it is not. It even differs from picture to picture. I would like to know why and if something can be done about this?

Lightroom :: Custom White Balance From Canon 5D Mark 3 Erased From RAW Files When Developed In 4.2

Nov 5, 2012

I set custom white balance for a lot of my photos (I'm a nightclub photographer) as sometimes the colours are so saturated the image becomes unusable. Unfortunately in Lightroom 4 the photos import with the correct WB I have set but when I click on them to develop the settings are changed and the image looks completely awful. I try and adjust the image back to the way I have taken it but it never looks the same....why is Lighroom not recognising the WB settings I set within my 5D?

Lightroom :: Auto White Balance Didn't Work - Photos Turned Out Very Purple / Pink All Over

Jul 13, 2013

I shot an event for a couple (a reception) and I didn't have my gray card so I set my Canon 5D mkII on auto white balance (shooting with a Canon 24-70 2.8 and a Sigma 85 1.4). As you'll see from the two example photos - the shots taken in the venue lobby looked fine, but the shots from inside the event itself were amazingly saturated. The room had a ton of very bright uplighting in purple and pink - the shots looked fine in the viewfinder, but once I brought them into LR4, there was a nearly complete purple/pink cast over everything. Setting the white balance in LR to auto, tungsten, flourescent - nothing worked. Adjusting the temp sliders - only slightly better. Reducing vibrance and saturation useful a little more, but I'm really having a hard time finding a fix!

Lightroom :: Make White Balance / Exposure Adjustments On Top Of Current Adjustments Across Multiple Shots?

Jan 15, 2014

We have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
 
Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
 
Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.

Lightroom :: 5.3 - Copy / Paste Saturation Settings?

Jan 21, 2014

I have corrected my saturation on a photo in the Develop module and would like to copy that saturation to other photos. I click 'copy' in the lower left and get the dialog to select my choice of settings, so I only check saturation. I then move to my desired recipient image and click 'paste' and nothing happens. Same result in Library module when I use Photo > Develop Settings > Copy Settings and Paste Settings.
 
I am using LR 5.3 on Windows Pro 7
