Riddle me this batmen (and batwomen),
1 - Why is it when I created a custom profile for my 5DSr for LightRoom 6.4 (latest updates), the white balance is "off". Or, why am I crazy... er um... why when I click my eyedropper on a gray square, it adjusts the WB? Shouldn't the profile already have already done this??
2 - Bonus question: Why when I click the eyedropper as above, the picture looks yellow/orange to me when the RGB in LR says they are about equal? (grey looks grey, rest of pic look yellow/orange).
By the way, the Xrite, ColorChecker Passport produced the same color profile as when I used the smaller RAW last year (due to the memory size limit) .... I read somewhere the smaller RAW has a different color balance... this appears to be not so with my experiment.
Stuff:
- Canon 5DSr full size RAW
- Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS (on tripod)
- Calibrated NEC PA301W 30" 2560x1600
- XRite ColorChecker Passport
- Sunny day, indirect light
- Used the latest Adobe DNG convert to convert RAW to DNG
- Dragged the DNG into the ColorChecker tool (latest with memory fix) and generated profile
- Opened the original RAW used for calibration w/Color panel in LR
- Made no adjustments, but "turned on" my new profile
- Temp = 5150
- Tint = +17
- pointer in grey block: 57.2, 60.1, 57.7 (shouldn't this be neutralized now?)
- looks really good to me
- Put eyedropper on grey panel, clicked, picture turned a bit yellow/orange but grey panel neutralized
- Temp = 5600
- Tint = +44
- Grey block 60.3, 60.0, 58.9
OK, what is going on here. Why was the original RAW, after profile applied, look fine but grey not neutralized?
Peace
