I was excited to see in the release notes for version 1.1.2 that the white balance presets for the Canon EOS 550D would be updated. I liked the existing presets, and was interested to see what might be added. However, now all I see are the three basic settings: camera whitebalance, spot whitebalance and passthrough. All of the other presets, like Daylight, Cloudy, Shade and so on have disappeared. I also cannot figure out how to make use of the slider labelled 'finetune'. I cannot make it move at all.
My camera is actually Canon EOS T2i, which I always thought was identical to EOS 550D. After downloading the most recent git version, so I could check for any updates, I found no changes. I am not a C programmer. However, I decided to have a look in the code to see what looked amiss. I found the settings in wb_presets.c, then found that the caller uses EXIF information to select the correct settings. On a hunch, I had a look at my EXIF info and saw "EOS REBEL T2i" as the model, but in wb_presets.c the values were "EOS Rebel T2i". I changed 'Rebel' to 'REBEL' and rebuilt the code, and now I see the presets. Thank you for all your hard work in this wonderful project, and the opportunity for me to feel like I might be able to make a contribution, however small. I read the style guide and saw that if I followed procedure I should make a fork, but this is beyond my ability. Please excuse me suggesting this change in this forum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
