using the White Balance Tool in Camera RAW.I have sometimes heard that I need to select a naturally white point (as opposed to a specular / highlight point); but I have also heard that I need to select a neutral gray point.
View 2 RepliesFor Nikon D50 cameras Adobe Creative Suite 6 does not read "As Shot" white balance data whether it's specified or not. It defaults to "Automatic". We have the problem only for Nikon D50 and only in Photoshop CS6, Adobe Camera Raw 7.3 and Photoshop Lightroom 4. (Not in CS5. Not for Nikon D5100 or D7000 or Canon S95) .

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?
how do i get the drop down box in white balance to allow me to change the white balance
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhite balance. Shooting With my Canon 5D, shooting RAW, I choose Auto White balance. At the end I shoot a Gray-Card with the same Lighting that I had. Later I open the image with the Gray-Card inside the camera raw, and I select it with the white balance tool. then I get the perfect White Balance. I personally like the Gray-Card which has from very light gray to very dark gray. I'm still using Photoshop CS5. Now there are many products out there such as Color Checker. How I can get better color Balance or Color Correction using those 3rd party products. Also My Monitor is calibrated using Data Color spydare 3Elite.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I use Adjust --> Color Balance and use the temperature slider the cool <---> warm seems to work as expected (i.e. my image becomes more blue to the left, more red to the right).
When I click the Advanced Options box, the slider labels are the same, but the behavior swaps: so the Cool label is still on the left, BUT when side the handle to the left, my image becomes more RED, & if I slide to the right (labeled warm) my image becomes more blue.
My preferred medium for photography is underwater, so it is crucial the white balance is set to the area and depth of the shot. When I use Photoshop CS3 to develop the shot in RAW, as soon as I click on to the shot in bridge it instantly reverts back to the default white balance, In UK fresh waters this usually means a strong green cast.

I have a photo i am enhancing in which my point of focus at center (an arch structure) is being colored by artificial holiday lighting and there are sodium-vapor street lamps surrounding it on adjacent streets with the foreground dark asphalt and objects (I used a wide angle) having a yellowish hue. I want to know what is the best way to localize the center arch, leave that with it's own adjustment (of 5600K) and bring down the rest of the image with the yellow-orange tinge down to 2500-3200K (or otherwise have them look like nice xenon or white fluorescent lamps) with good blending (so the intersection of both lighting does not look stilted) and while keeping the same tonal range. Global adjustments are just not doing it for me here. Layers and blending? Gradients? What would you recommend? Please post anything that also relates to adjusting for conflicting lighting locally and any limits on this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am still baffled with matching the color - tint .
If I copy paste something on another image . I get crude red -green-blue + - world adjustments . I sample the color numbers to match still no luck . The saturation / Hue adjustments are semi helpful .
I end up with a flat gray bluish skin tone , Is their a color temp lighting corrector , talking from my kodak paper-photo printing 70s flashback years.
click path to fine tint / color correction for skin tones?
I'm basically trying to match the colour of the single jar shot to that of the jars in the colour reference file (the one with loads of jars), so it looks as if the single shot could be a closeup from the group shoot.
There's a batch of these single jar shots so I was looking for an adjustment I could do once and then apply uniformly to the rest.
My attempt was to create a series of adjustment layers that worked for one image and then apply that to the rest, but I couldn't come up with the correct combination of adjustments that matched the reference.
I'm confident with doing colour adjustments on the items inside the jar so you needn't worry about that, it's more the overall white balance / slight lessening of shadow underneath the shelves / shine of the glass jars / warmth and cleanliness of the picture's tone.
The single shots will cycle through as a GIF, so it's important to look as if it's just the content of the jars changing, rather than the entire shot - hence needing a single solution that was applicable to all pictures.
I have this photo taken in tungsten light, but there remain reflections from the outside light (the sun) which of course appear blue-magentish.
I thought maybe mixing with yellow-green could eliminate them. Actually I only need to decrease their saturation and thus become like other whitish reflections..
After adjusting white balance in ACR - images are opening in PS at a different size? how to prevent it?
Negatives are scanned at 3200dpi, and 24bit depth. This is the metadata from Bridge.
Default settings in Camera Raw After opening in Photoshop.
I learned from Scott Kelby's book on a technique to remove color cast.
What is the difference between color cast and correcting white balance?
What I want to be able to do is click on an area of a photo, and then tell paint.net that I want this to be WHITE - and adjust the rest of the photo accordingly. ie, an object photographed on a white background that is tinted due to incandescent lighting etc.
I know this feature exists in photoshop elements. Is it available in paint.net?
Set the white balance
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLR3.4.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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI use a Pentax K-r and the white balance icon above the EXIF data panel only shows if I have used Auto White Balance. If I have used any of the other modes available in the camera, no icon is shown and the EXIF data lists the shot as taken with manual white balance. The other two icons (metering mode and JPG/DNG) work correctly. The white balance issue means that I have to note the white balance setting of each shot while the card is in the camera and put it by hand against the shot in PaintShop Pro. This is very time-consuming and seems to be a serious omission.
I have since found that the white balance icon works with my Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-150 camera, although the EXIF data still shows the shots as taken with manual white balance, so it seems to be a compatibility problem that needs to be resolved.
I find that if I have some video that has poor color, if I grab a still from it and bring it into GIMP, GIMP does a good job on correcting it.
Now, I'd like to know what color correction settings were applied by that filter so that I can go back to my video editing package and apply similar color corrections across the entire video clip, not just the still.
