So apparently I no longer know how to white balance a picture taken of a reef tank with DSLR.
I made some custom color profile on my camera, which makes fairly decent jpegs and default raw (although a bit too red), but as soon as I open raw files in Lightroom or RawTherapee it all changes for the worse and regular sliders do nothing to improve things.
Here's an example of JPEG off of camera
Loading it in Lightroom with As Shot for color, which seems wrong for as shot, but anyways.
Playing with basic settings a bit, maybe this is the best I can get. Not really sure how camera lands on one above. Again it's not quite correct, but just to know how to get to that point would be great
This maybe is closed to what I see in person, but it's not quite right.
Obviously there are bunch of other things I could be messing with, but I recall when I was doing this years ago, it was all a lot simpler somehow heh.
Also the color dropper just does nothing useful here, ending up with green blue images basically.
Thanks for the help!
