I disagree. I had some high-ISO shots - a baby in a bath - and Lightroom 1.3 entirely failed at setting white balance using the WB Selector. I could sort of dial it in with the other adjustments. The interesting thing is that if you use the WB selector, the picture looks OK at the macro level; in fact, with better colour balance than I could get by hand. But if you look at a 100% crop, the damage is obvious, the baby looked like she had some horrible skin disease. This is with the DNG files. It refused to even open PEFs. -Tim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
