Question

Image Processor - messes up White Balance.

When using File > Scripts > Image Processor... on camera RAW files and selecting Open first file to apply settings then before processing images inside folder it opens first image in Adobe Camera Raw to apply settings and then reuses set settings for every next file it process.

 

However one thing that is like a bug to me, is that script remembers White Balance settings Temperature and Tint exactly as they are specified in first file even if you never changed them from default position, and then apply same exact values of Temperature and Tint to the remaining images it processing, thus messing up White Balance for this images.

 

Possible and logical solution would be - when opening image to apply settings if White Balance dropdown menu say "As Shot" then WB was never changed and Temperature and Tint should not be remembered.

If someone wants to save Temperature and Tint  they can switch White Balance drop down to "Custom" setting, script should remember Temperature and Tint settings and apply them.

In the camera raw preferences under Workflow see if having Open in Photoshop as Smart Object checked is what is affecting the White Balance issue.

What version of Photoshop and Windows are you using?

 

I'm not seeing that on any of the Nikon nefs fron various Nikons i've tried thus far.

 

What camera(s) are the files your seeing this on from?

Photoshop v24.4.1
Camera Raw v15.3.0.1451
RAW are .arw files from Sony NEX-5T

 

Yet again i do have bugs with scripts inside PS that other people can't recreate, which is also mistery to me.
