P: Add White Balance Color Picker to the Local Adjustment Tools

Community Beginner ,
Mar 13, 2023 Mar 13, 2023

You should add the ability to selects WB with a color picker in the masks. I often use color range masks to calibrate my images, but I have to select my WB using the slider, which is often less efficient. Your competitor does it well,  I'm sure you can do it to.

Feature request for Lightroom Adjustment Brushes (based on 1st public LR4 Beta)

Could we please have a white balance pipette in addition to the Temp & Tint sliders for localised adjustment brushes. This would bring it into line with the Basics panel and allow for much simpler & quicker localised white balance corrections.

Thank you

cracking idea, whether it makes it for LR 4 or not, but please if possible, LR4.0

This would be a great help instead of "guessing" the right WB.

Also the Temp slider should indicate the actual color temp not a scale of -100 to100

This has been discussed in the Adobe Lightroom forum see...

...and Eric Chan (he of Adobe) explains the whys and wherefores of the scale chosen for this feature.

Good idea! And there is should be no difference between the white balance settings in Develop panel and the white balance settings for Local brush adjustments (Temp/Tint scale, values and units)

Strange. I had the feeling that they were releasing bugs at an accelerated rate :-)) .

Yes the People that work on Lightroom at Adobe only work for 2 hours every other Friday. And for most of those 2 hours they talk about what they did for the last 2 weeks and what they are going to do in the next 2 weeks.

1-When painting with a mask brush. Be able to use a white balance picker to pick a white balance from one area to use in another area.

2- Like in Bridge version 12, have access to the same metadata library and be able to make and keep metadata templates

3- When you work with the mask brush and you have switched off auto select. It still seems to do it partially residually.

4- have the constrain crop on by default.

5- Add Nikon's Z 24-70 profile to list

6- Like in Bridge 12 have the ability to change only part of file name globally.

I suggest you submit each of the features you've requested above as individual Feature Requests.

 

 

BTW, 2 already exists in LrC - see Library module > Metadata > Edit Metatdata Presets...

You're asking for selective WB (not global)? Seems reasonable, I'll upvote for that.

Wouldn't you want to apply a white balance globally then adjust as needed with sluders locally?

I would love to have the ability to select white balance (WB) with a color picker in the masks. As a real estate photographer, I often use the White Balance Selector to calibrate my images, which works really well when shooting a room with consistent lighting. However, for example, when I take photos of a master bedroom with a bathroom, hallway, etc., there are often multiple light sources, and the white balance will only work properly in one of the rooms.

Thank you
