What I do in these situations is pick a spot on one photo that I can use as a white balance/density reference. Then walk through each exposure and adjust WB slider and exposure until they match. That gets in the ballpark pretty easily. In LR3, there's a new function called "Match Total Exposure. A

JPEG files don't have white balance information in them, so Lightroom sets the sliders to neutral. LR also doesn't have any WB presets for JPEG files, it's all manual control. On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 10:44 PM, Sam L wrote: > > I uploaded some photos to my smugmug account so you can see what it >

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

LR should show you the colour temperature of the pictures you like. You can type that same colour temperature into the ones you want to change - you don't have to use the dropper or the sliders. Bob > > Once I have tweaked my first image to satisfaction I can then apply the same > adjustments to

Once I have tweaked my first image to satisfaction I can then apply the same adjustments to my other photos. The big hurdle is getting the first one 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

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

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. :-) Regards, Bob S. On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 1:36 PM, Sam L wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a se
