White balance presets

  • June 6, 2019

After watching several tutorials about how to achieve certain effects, most instruct me to go to the drop down box for the white balance and select a preset (such as "cloudy" etc). However. My drop down box does not have any presets. How do I acquire those?

    Hi Casey,

    White balance presets, like “cloudy,” “daylight,” “tungsten,” etc. are only available if you are working on a RAW file. If you’re working on a non-RAW (jpg, tiff, psd) then you only have the options for “auto” and “custom.”

    Could this be what you are seeing?

    Yes, those are the only ones I am seeing. That makes much more sense now! So, I can only use them after I upload a raw photo. Thank you!!

    Hi Casey8915,

    Sorry to hear that the white balance presets in Lightroom are not available on your mobile.

    Which version of Lightroom mobile are you using and on Android or iOS?

    Could take a screenshot of what you're seeing in the While balance menu in Lightroom mobile so that we can try replicating this issue?

    Thanks,

    Akash
