Basic white balance questions

• New to RAW, the question of the white balance

  I have been using Lightroom for years, but with my camera, display JPG images only. I started now work with my D90 RAW (NEF) files recently and has difficulty from beginner.

  LR 2.6, Mac OSX 10.5.8, iMac 24 "2.8 GHz

  The problem which brings me here is that I just did a shoot without setting a white balance. Shot JPG & NAVE and I see that Lightroom is extrapolating values AWB, that the camera is brought on the NEF files "As Shot". For a series of similar images, I found a white balance that seems to work. I set on my picture selected, shift-select the rest and try to SYNCHRONIZE the balance of whites for the other images.

  Do not. World Bank of rest "As Shot" for the other images, and in every sense, following the camera. Does not help items synchronized to integrate "treatment (color).

  How can you "synchronize" the white balance with NEF files, please?

  Thanks in advance.

  When using the sync function and you select an image that the WB is under the gun and copy this to other images it will copy 'under the gun' for the other images not the real parameters of Kelvin of the first image. It is as expected. You make a slight modification to the image that you copy so that it is now a custom setting, and then synchronize with the other image that you want to apply the new settings.

• Camileo H20: How to save white balance settings

  Hello

  Just got this camcorder and find my way round with him.

  My question is when you replace the night mode settings and the balance of whites etc, when you close the screen and open it again to continue shooting, mode returned to the automobile and so has white balance settings.

  The other settings would you like the way I did it is to say HD or 720 etc is this right.

  Also use indoors under 60w lamps is non-existent.

  Thank you

  Hello zackwolf,

  Yes you are right. A few changes like the white balance and so on go to settings by default automatically, if you close the screen.

  OK - the other settings would you like the way that put you it is to say HD or 720, etc..

  Maybe a new firmware would solve that problem, but I know there is no update of the firmware available for the moment.

  Best regards

• A7r2 Setup Custom White Balance

  Try to set WB custom A7r2 with 70 to 200 mm FE 4/70-200 G OSS. Under the terms of the White Balance > custom installation, I get the following warning, '' this operation or setting not available as follows, shooting Mode, recall of memory. '' What does that mean? How to spend it?

  Thanks, Dave

  As usual, as soon as you articulate your problem understand you. The answer to my question is, you can't set Custom Setup WB when the value of one of the modes of memory either 1 or 2 on the page top dial. Put M and everything worked well.

• Sunrise/sunset and the White Balance

  I have a question about the automatic substitution of the White Balance when shooting sunrises and sunsets. A few days ago I got my first DSLR, the EOS 5 d Mk III. "I know that triangle ISO after the filming of the movie on my Canon a-1 I bought 34 years ago that still works). However, this white balance thing is a fourth dimension. Films are balanced to the light of day and the ISO is also dictation. To photograph a sunrise or a sunset, for me, it makes sense to adjust the balance of whites to 5200 Kelvin (daylight). I received a response from a camera club member who said that his pictures were all in the 5000 range. Others said ' Shoot in RAW and fix it in post processing. The second answer to 'fix later' just doesn't ring my Bell. What do things right the first time? Can I set up the white light of the day or a balance other setting? I can experiment always change the white balance; After all, I do not lose film. Here is a series of sunrises that I took using Kodak Portra 400, - 2/3 stop, on my Canon a-1. http://www.Flickr.com/photos/ralphhightower/sets/72157633079358301/ Thank you, Ralph

  5200 dawn at 09:00 and 15:00 at the sunset, says Bruce Dorn. It takes great pictures!

• Inspiron 7559 4K display (16 GB of ram, 960 m GPU) need help. white balance / tone is constantly evolving?

  I just picked up a new laptop (inspiron 7559 4K display, 16 GB ram, 960 m GPU) and I have a problem with the display. Its always of switching/flicker between the white balance / tone between a true white and bluish white cooler.

  It seems to be connected to what colors or lack of, are on the screen. When its just its beautiful text and white. When there is an image or a text in color, the screen switches to the cool bluish white.

  also happened when you hover over an image or an area of color (not items that are links or who have special functions)

  any ideas what I send that thing again? I'm certainly not satisfied with the new machine.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I experienced exactly the same problem with this laptop (7559 4 k, 16 gb, 960 m).

  I managed to get always this problem of color change (change from white to a different shade of wide white-blue) when highlighting text on a Web page.

  Its quite irritating as the screen around is affected (not just the app you're using) and there's a twinkle in short when the color change occurs.

  HP support were in fact very helpful, has ran a lot of tests, updated all drivers (BIOS, graphics etc etc!), but unfortunately nothing really solved the problem and I returned the laptop.

  Others seem to be affected by this title by the youtube video below, which also shows the question quite well.

  Its really shame that such a potentially important laptop would have a critical fault like this. If they could solve this problem that I would consider buying it again.

  Let us know if you manage to solve this problem!

  Thank you.

• Can not find the white balance using the local adjustment tools

  Hello

  I just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 5. I would like to change the white balance (temperature and tint) but local adjustment brush when I take a new brush, all I change is

  1 exhibition

  2 brightness

  3. contrast

  4 saturation

  5 clarity

  6 sharpness

  7 color

  The buttons Temp and tint that must appear on the top of this tool are not present. As shown below...

  

  Similarly, according to the few videos of youtube, in basic tools, should I get

  1. highlights

  2. the shadows

  3 white

  4 black

  Instead, I get

  1. the collection

  2 fill light

  3 black

  As shown below.

  

  Why are there differences in the option? Is it because it is a trial version? Someone, please help me.

  Thank you

  Scroll the camera Calibration Panel. Choose process: 2012 for the image. The reason why you do not see the sliders, it is that the image is currently using an older process, an earlier version of Lightroom.

• I'm on 5 Lightroom and exposure and tools for adjusting the white balance on the right side of the scr

  I'm on 5 Lightroom and the exhibition of tools for adjusting the white balance on the right side of the screen disappeared.  How can I restore them?

  Make a right-click on one of the other Panel headers for example curve tone and a menu will appear to select Basic.

  How it gets unchecked is not clear, but several users have had this happen since the release of version 5. It has ahppened me on at least two occasions.

• 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.

• Wrong color white balance correction

  I apologize if this question is simplistic in nature, but I'm still a Publisher amateur trying to correct some of the videos I made.

  As a diver, I am constantly white balance under water.  However, occasionally, I have white balance where my topic has the correct color, but the background is more reddish instead of the beautiful blue sea.  What is the best way to correct color the background of a video without affecting the frontground object?

  I imagine the levels is a great tool, but when I tried to play with the many settings, I continued by setting the object and the background.  What is the best way to fix the bottom?  Thank you.

  Discover the way color corrector three; It has a secondary CC option that will allow you to hide the color correction to specific chroma and luminance values in the clip. That essentially allows you to isolate the color correction, so it changes only the parts of the image you want.

• any1 know how correct color for white balance/color category?

  Check the basics and do a Google search. The first three listed will be videos, link following points to the Adobe Help files.

  The basic tools are the same as in Photoshop, but there are a bunch of 3 plug-ins third out there that make the job easier. If run you one of the tutorials found in your Google search and you're stuck back to us.

• Bridge CS5 applies wrong white balance during extraction of thumbnails (only for raw files)

  Hello to all the assistants of Adobe,

  Photographer welder here. I use a Canon T2i and I've been shooting raw with automatic white balance.

  After I downloaded the CR2 files to the bridge, bridge starts thumbnail extraction. It is then that the problem begins: I watch bridge thumbnail extraction photo after photo, turning them into white balance bad one by one. After the bridge is done, I open one of these photos in Camera Raw, it shows the picture in the "custom white balance". I could go back to "As Shot". But now, each Bridge photo has custom white balance and is difficult to bridge. This screenshot shows what looks like my bridge after thumbnail extraction...

  Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I took a few photos with the settings of the different on the camera white balance. I downloaded their bridge and bridge too wrote all the white balance settings. Then I imported the same pictures (from the same files) to iPhoto, they appear with writing correct balance. Please see the second screenshot.

  The third screenshot shows a unique photo that I opened the bridge to Camera Raw and the same photo, as it appears in iPhoto, the original two.

  

  Again, this only happens to CR2 files. All TIF, jpeg files are fine.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Any ideas?

  First of all, taken of view Raw has the advantage of the evolution of the color temperature (balance of Pentecost) to what ever you like everything you shot in camera.

  It seems once you have registered a custom default setting white balance and it is applied to each new file because you said bridge to do. The best way out of this is to open a raw file in ACR and the basic right tab you see a small icon (next to the base word) submenu. Click on it and the line select "Reset Camera Raw defaults" downstairs.

  Also decide if you want to stay in 16-bit mode (you're now as shown in the blue line under the preview). If you want the chance it to 8 bits, just click on this blue line and choose your options in this menu. Just do it once for that same camera files, ACR remembers the settings for you.

  Using 16-bit mode has advantages when the color corrections using critical (but you should also replace the ProPhoto color mode in my opinion). The downside is that the 16 bit doubles compared to 8-bit file size

  Having put default ACR should immediately make your thumbs by building of new inches and previews, but if not, you must choose purge the cache for the file from the menu Tools / cache / purge the cache for the file. Now the new settings will apply.

  It may take a while so let bridge do its job properly before starting other jobs in bridge (see the activity bar downstairs left to check if the bridge is still cached).

• In LR white balance selection tool

  just a general question here: when you use the pipette "white balance selector" tool in LR, is it actually to neutralize the grays in PS, i.e. through the pipette midtones in an adjustment of levels? just curious...

  No, LR White Balance controls and the pipette affect the tonal full (0-100%) will also. This is a global function for the correction of conditions of temperature color taken from view. For photos of the 'mixed' lighting, you can also use the Brush tool to paint on specific areas of color correction. It works very well.

• iPhone 7 problem of camera Auto White Balance

  Hi guys, got my new iPhone 7 and had been shooting a lot of pictures with it. I noticed that all my whites in my photos appear yellowish and sometimes yellow in my photos may appear to be white / or with deep shades of yellow. I had attached 2 photos I took of a white wall in my office. 1 was captured by immediate shot in the camera application, while the other was shot after the camera go off focus. Not sure if it is a problem of software with the White Balance automatic camera or a hardware fault. I hope to hear advice from the community!

  

  

  I have iPhone 7 more on her white balance seems also more hot (more yellow) than the iPhone 6 s more.

  Friends with iPhone 7 also reported the same problem. Photos of the iPhone 7 more looks unnecessarily hot and yellow tinted.
