1.9.0.734: White Balance Issue?

[Fritz_H]

Hi all,

I did some editing on a picture using the most recent Beta (1.9.0.734).
As I opened the file with the release-Version (1.8.5.703) I noticed a big difference:

I checked all settings: the are the same in both Versions of Photo.
It seems that the White-Balance-Adjustment from 1.9b causes this strong green color cast in 1.8.5

The issue did not occur with other images with similar workflow (edited in 1.9b, viewed in 1.8.5)

Any ideas?

Hi @Fritz_H,

Can you attach the raw file in question?

[Fritz_H]

@Gabe

The source is just a JPEG and the file is not mine;  I will ask the owner for approval.
The Affinity-File is about 50MB big. Dropbox?

The picture is affected from the same green color cast both in 1.8.5.703 than in 1.9.0.734, at least in my notebook.

I see what you see in 1.8.5 in both retail and beta version on my machine - monitor profiled. Both beta and retail use the profile as I expected.

Did you have other Photo betas installed over the years? If so it may be time to wipe all Photo beta settings.

Hello @Fritz_H,

Check the color setting, "convert opened to working space".
Enable this Option, the image should no longer have a green cast.

 

Cheers

Oh man - a pretty interesting discovery and issue @Fritz_H!

FYI: the update to .767 did not fix this issue.

I've tested the file with 1.8.3.461 and 1.9.0.767 (with and without Open CL) and there was no difference between the screen colours so that does not seem to be the cause of the problem.

If I select the "convert open files to working space"  as suggested by Gnobelix then the green cast goes away on both versions (with and without Open CL). IIRC that option is not selected by default.

So it seems Open CL is not the culprit after all, at least on my Radeon Graphics card. Maybe it's an issue related to the card/driver combo instead?

Just out of curiosity I checked with some of my own afphoto files (derived from RW2 & jpg) on all the settings and had no changes in colours.

@GeoffH

Thanks for your reply.

The "convert.." - option is set in both: the release and the beta-Version of Photo on my Computer.

Please see my posting from Sunday: I opened the file one time with OpenCL enabled and again with OpenCL disabled.
same computer, same Beta, same file, only one setting changed (OpenCL) and the shown result is different.

Before I noticed this problem, I edited some other files with the Beta and none of them shows this issue - just this one.
