No white point in Develop Persona

[Jaffa]

I find it peculiar that there is a black point, but no white point in Develop.  When I used Adobe Camera Raw, there was a white point.  Is using this done a different way?

Yes, that is a problem when you do you editing using histogram -- I guess that is prepress type thinking. Photo apps tend to do instead exposure and brightness which is thought to be more photographer type thinking. I also find exposure and brightness controls to be not-exact, you cannot precisely follow how what adjustments do. I would strongly prefer simple control for setting white point.

 

As it is, you have to set white point using exposure control. And when you adjust brightness, it is NOT plain gamma, it affects white point TOO  and you have to compensate...

In the Develop persona, don't you use the White Balance Tool from the tool bar to sample and set the white value?
