Automatic white balance didn't work - photos is proved very violet/pink everything - can you help me?

I've been a photographer for these last years, and it's the first time I have encountered this problem. I shot an event for a couple (reception) and I didn't have my grey card, so I put my Canon 5 d mkII on the white balance automatic (shooting with a Canon 24-70 2.8 and a Sigma 85 1.4, if it helps). As you will see on the photos of two examples - photos taken in the conference hall was going well, but the Favorites of the event itself were surprisingly saturated. The room had a ton of very bright uplighting in purple and pink - the shooting was going on in the viewfinder, but once I got them in the LR4, there was an almost complete cast of violet/rose above it all. Adjustment of the balance of whites in LR for auto, tungsten, fluorescent - nothing has worked. Adjust the temporary sliders - only a little better. Reducing the vibrance and saturation has helped a little more, but I really find a solution! I can't afford to pay back their money, but if I can't find a decent solution, I'll do it. I want to give them the best possible color correction, but I'm pretty new to LR and I could use some help. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for a link to a tutorial on how to adjust the white balance - I read all the... I'm hoping by using someone who has experienced this same thing or can still offers advanced solutions that "try to set the sliders more» Thank you in advance!

This isn't a matter of White Balance, and you will not be able to adjust this image with the settings of white balance only - either behind closed doors or in Lr.

You shot this photo in colored light, and the effect you looks as if you want a fancy color filter in front of your lens.

I doubt if it can be adjusted to a 'normal' image looking at all. But for all its worth, here are the best I could come up with – even if I don't say it's THE best, in fact, it is still severely lacking.

And here's screenshots of the settings I used. I found that the most promising "adjustments" were in the calibration Panel. If you play a little bit maybe there is a better solution.

The image has a severe cast of purple, which is a red and blue combination. Increasing green will help. That is why I put the slider dyed in Basic-100.

In the calibration Panel, I put the still green hue, reduces the saturation of red and blue and changed the shades. Finally, in HSL, I reduced the saturation of blue.

PS: I think that the advice of Lee Jay is good. Create your own profile for counterweight in light color.

  • Photos and dressing won't come toether - can you help me?

    Having moved just from Pagemaker 7 to CS4, I do not understand how to get the text and a photo in the same box of textwrap.  For example, in md7 I used for the text wrap a picture and leave a decent space at the bottom of the photo. When I have it in InDesign, the text I want to place is excluded from the wrapped box even if the created text box is smaller in size than the space available, I made sure it's there. Can someone help me understand?  Thank you in advance.

    InDesign interpreting it differently. Looks like you're used to the behavior of the PM that any text which fits completely into the text wrapping is not affected.

    In InDesign to be not affected by the text wrapping, click with the right button on the text frame and choose text properties of the frame. There is a checkbox in the lower left corner of the dialog box, ignore the dressing. Check that.

  • touchpad doesn't work on my laptop. I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel. can you help me please?

    touchpad doesn't work on my laptop.   I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel.  can you help me please?

    Hello

    It's material is not a Windows problems.

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen - make sure that is it
    is a toggle the TouchPad that it is enabled.

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad
    entries) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary and the TouchPad makes its appearance in Device Manager: (make sure that you have restarted at least
    only once if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    ==========================================

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

  • Corresponds to the exposure, White Balance, etc. between two Photos

    I have two lots of photos taken of the same scene with two different cameras.  Exposure, white balance, colors etc. turned out really nice in a batch, but the photos of the other device photo proved to be poor (pale and the colors are off).

    As in two lots photos capture the same scene, is it possible to easily adjust the poor pictures by mail or copy features or settings from photos better?

    I would like to than the poor pictures to look as good as the best photos.  The photos were taken as jpg.

    You must manually adjust to one of the bad photos to match as close as possible to the right pictures. You can use the side by side comparison. When you are satisfied with the result, you can select the photo adjusted as well as all the other photos of poor and use the sync button.

    This is probably due to a faulty monitor profile.

    Windows 10 is known to install the manufacturer profiles, which are often of poor quality.

    Troubleshooting, as well as a temporary fix, try to set the monitor to sRGB profile.

    I have this solves the problem, ideally you should calibrate your monitor with a standard material.

    Press the Windows key + R, type colorcpland press ENTER.

    Add the sRGB profile, and then set as default profile. See screenshot (from Windows 7) below.
