Struggle with white balance? Bad indoor lighting getting you down? Well I have the solution for you!
This helps finding technical white balance easy using the image histogram inside of Adobe Lightroom.....yea I know right, who thought!? Once technical white balance is achieved you can adjust the temperature as you see fit, dependant on the ambient lighting temperature.

Adjusting the Red and Blue values is an awesome tip I've never seen anywhere else. An absolutely brilliant way of dialling in a 'correct' WB value before adjusting to taste. This will really help my consistency.

Isn't this standard white ballance? The real tips weren't even mention in the video: 1) Increase saturation to max value, then WB and then pull saturation down again. 2) Some image require selective WB using masks. E.g. the subject might need other values than the background.

This is possibly the best tip I have ever seen on youtube. I've just run through some previous photos and it works perfectly.

Thank you Mark! I'm just filming another video now actually, I think I can make one where it's explained a bit better. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is one of the best tips videos I’ve seen. I’m shooting my 3rd ever wedding tomorrow and this is a game changer. I’ve been stressing about using AWB on my Images and them being all over the place in post

Great to hear Michael! Amy at northern presets told me and I was like WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?! Then I was surprised not many people were talking about it. I shoot 6k WB all day really as it suits my work but when there’s time to batch correct this is the perfect method

This is great. Now I know a technical way to adjust WB rather than what just looks right. Game changer!!

Great tip, thank you! Out of curiosity do you know if this is how the eye dropper white balance tool works or is it a different algorithm?

Great tip! Do you know how to view those RGB percentages in Adobe Camera Raw (not Lightroom)? I can't seem to find the option :D

Heya! Just opened up camera raw and put my cursor over the raw photo and the rgb values are showing in my histogram :)

Awesome tips here. You mention your shoot on 6000k and adjust in post. What wb do you shoot for video?

@PearceWeddingPhotography Жыл бұрын

Hey! I actually mainly shoot at 5500k all day now then adjust in post when needed, because the z6ii tint slider on auto goes craaaaazy in lightroom! WB in video is just auto really, dependant on how orange the venue lights are but then again if they're constant I can usually kinda half fix it

@richbenson Жыл бұрын

@@PearceWeddingPhotography Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. I’ve got my first hybrid shoot in May, so other than actually buying some mics to capture some audio, I need to practice, and actually remember to do video clips on the day 🤣 Do you manage to get stills and video of the first kiss? I’m tempted to grab jpgs during video 🤔

@TanliLundgren 2 жыл бұрын

when do you move the 'tint' slider? or do you just concentrate on the R and B values?

@PearceWeddingPhotography 2 жыл бұрын

I said tint, ignore that. It's the temp slider, i click on it then use the + and - keys to make sure the r and b values are within a % of each other :)

@PearceWeddingPhotography 2 жыл бұрын

oh, the tint slider....I think that's subjective. I tend to leave it on whatever LR has made it unless the image looks green or purple
