Sam -

If the pix with the correct white balance were taken under the same lighting as the incorrect ones, try setting the the color temperature and tint on one of the bad ones to the same as the good ones. That should get you started in the ballpark. If that looks good the sync it up with the others.

adjusted to match the set where the white balance was set correctly.  I'm such 
a n00b w LR that I am fumbling pretty blindly with the sliders and white 
balance dropper.

You can sync white settings in jpgs in Lightroom just fine.  Get the
white balance setting right in one photo and while still in the
develop module, select the other pictures that you want to duplicate
the white balance settings in.  You should see your master has a
whiter surround in the filmstrip than the other selected photos - this
indicates that it is the master selection and any sync commands will
use this photo's settings as the blueprint to apply to the others.
Click the Sync button (this only appears when you have more than one
photo selected) and a dialog box will come up.  Check the settings you
want to sync - in this case the white balance, and leave the others
boxes unchecked and then hit 'Synchronise' and it's done! Easy and
saves heaps of time. You can synch any develop settings this way

Congratulations on the new family member.
You'll just have to fool with the white balance.
I came across 25-30 year old photos from the delivery room yesterday.
You won't mind the odd colors in 25 years.  :-)

Hi all,

I have a set of photos I shot where the WB was set to Tungsten.
Halfway through the shoot I chimped and fixed this.  Pictures were all
shot in jpg on my K-x.  What I'd like to do is to copy the color
settings from the "good pictures" over to the pictures that have
tungsten white balance.  I tried selecting the appropriate pictures
and using the "sync" feature.  No luck on that.

How do you recommend I get the colors corrected and consistent?

It seems like it would be very handy to be able to view 2 images (the
"good one" and the "bad one") simultaneously so that when I move the
sliders around I can immediately know if I'm helping or hurting.  I
was able to view side-by-side images only in the "library" module, but
not in the "develop" module.  Am I missing something here?


I've been lazy about digging out photos to share with the list.  Here
is my apology, in the form of a gallery of my new son, who is now 2
weeks old.  Most of the photos were from a DA40, but the last 4 were
shot with my Super Tak 85/1.9.
