HI ThereWell now you know a good setting for your shots and if you are in AWB ever again you have a home base that you can adjust to that looks good to you.
I think the lesson I've learned is that simply trying to white balance with the dropper (or changing to a preset like daylight) after using AWB might not be all you need to do. It is a combo of changing the WB and adjusting the tint. If you have a few minutes to play around wanna come up with the numbers in Lightroom :angel: some of us would really like you.

It's OK :thumbdown: we still love you...I will play around with it. I have to go out and shoot some daylight non AWB shots.HI Guy
It would seem that Im not THAT nice
Obviously I'm not very good at it.I see some serious sweet talking going on here. The kicker is the little Angel.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
HI ChrisI thought the values Jono posted were the preset values.
Of course you are - who could be better :toocool:Obviously I'm not very good at it.
I will do this, don't worry. I thought you had kept Lightroom up and running. Good luck fixing the other problems.Of course you are - who could be better :toocool:
However, in between writing these messages, I've been trying to deal with a rather nasty data problem in Middlesborough . . . so I'm not terribly susceptible to the idea of downloading the latest version of Lightroom and installing it!
HI Charlescmb_ = Charles
True for C1, Lightroom, ACR, Aperture . . . :salute:
When I was shooting a lot with the DMR, I would choose a manual setting of 5300k on the DMR. I am a little more lazy now and just choose the sunny WB setting and fine tune in post.Jono,
Interesting to see and thank you for posting.
For completeness, it might be interesting to state the approximate time of day for the shots. Also, which RAW converter.
I'll be able to help you in Bibble very shortly Jono.HI Charles
I'm really sorry - it's late and I'm stupid! (I really should know by now)
In that case, it makes one wonder whether, although the leica values seem to be interpreted, the Nikon values are 'hard coded' into the raw files and picked up by the raw converter, just like a custom white balance would be?
P.S. now you'll be in Terry's good books . . . . how about NX, Bibble . . . .
Thank you Carlos - I haven't used Bibble for some time - Eric is such a nice guy though, and his spelling fascinating!I'll be able to help you in Bibble very shortly Jono.
Hi RobI like jono's approach. You take the shots and you know each will be say 5500K and close to what was seen at the time of the shoot vs, on AWB anywhere up and down from that temp. Thus you have a fixed known starting point. Much like differential GPS - you need a known fixed starting point.
After some time your brain will start to envision what a dawn, dusk, etc., scene will render like at 5500K vs. what your mind's eye remembers - making tweaking the WB in post that much easier.
As an aside, has anyone ever compared their AWB results to what an incident color meter kicks-out?
John:Hi Rob
I thought it was your approach!:salute:
