Restore the adjustment range of White Balance Tools in Develop Persona


Recommended Posts

In Affinity Photo V1, White Balance Tools in Develop Persona was a very good tool for IR photo white balance adjustment:

The white balance result is similar to some other software like rawtherapee/darktable.

However, the white balance adjustment range in Affinity Photo 2 is limited:

Limited in what way exactly? The White Balance adjustment ranges from 2,000 Kelvin to 25,000 Kelvin in both V1 and V2.

In V1, there are more than 2 parameters (Temperature, Tint and Blue/Red equalizer, I guess) in White Balance adjustment (but only 2 parameters you can see: temperature and tint).

Some softwares provide full adjustment range (like darkroom and rawtherapee), the FULL means all three parameters.

In V1, using straw tool (White Balance Tools) , Blue/Red equalizer parameter can also be changed. But in V2, only temperature and tint can be changed.

Could you upload a screenshot of the Blue/Red equalizer as part of the White Balance adjustment, I've only ever seen Temperature and Tint?

But only 2 parameters you can see: temperature and tint.

The third parameter is hided,  can't be changed directly by using slider. The only way to change it in V1 is using "White Balance Tools" to specify neutral gray of one pixel or one area. But in V2, the third parameter can't be changed anymore.

PS: this screenshot is the UI of rawtherapee, white balance adjustment include 3 parameters.

PS2: the raw file of an IR photo, using White Balance Tools to specify neutral gray of one pixel in V1 or V2 in develop persona, then you will know what's 'limited range'.P4270023.dng
