White Balance Issues

[Helmut Harringer]

Good day, i have big issues with the colour of the stitched panoramas. The outcome is too yellow. I would love to post some screens, but then the 'message is too long'...

Thank you!

Hi Helmut,

You can change the white balance in the Panorama Editor, in the White
Balance side bar.

PTGui shouldn't change the white balance by itself though. If you can
share your images via Dropbox, Google Drive, or something like that I'd
be happy to take a look.

Kind regards,

Hello Joost, thank you! I'm using the HDR function for stitching and then use the blended planes only for exporting - i need to match windows without giving the hdr look.

First screen is what i exported from lightroom with correct settings, second one is the ouctome from ptgui..

Hi Helmut,

Indeed, I see two images with different white balance.

To say anything about the reason, I would need to reproduce your result
in PTGui. Could you make your source images and project file available
for download?

Kind regards,

Hello Joost, thank you, here are the requested files:

Hi Helmut,

See attached screenshot: your source images have mixed white balance.
The dark frames 5500K and the bright images at 3900K. PTGui will by
default output the panorama at the middle white balance: 4581K.

If you output at 3900K and 36 tint, the color will match that of your
bright exposures.

Kind regards,

..which you can achieve by going to the Panorama Editor, opening the
White Balance side bar and unchecking Automatic.
