So I want to make preset packs to sell on my wesbsite but I have now realized why my presets never turn out right. Since I am taking photo photos in raw I am adjusting the temperature in kelvin scale. whenever I make a preset it is just saving kelvin value and applying that to other photos instead of just adding 35 percent sometimes adding a specific kelvin to a photo increases the temperature by like 400 %.I just want to make presets where i can know that the preset will consistently raise the temperature up by +25 like you would with a jpeg file. Anyone know how I can use that style of the temperature slider?
Thanks! Max
The other reason why it doesn't work is that Kelvin values define a large range of possible colors and each camera will provide a differing metadata suggestion making the possible colors even farther apart. The concept of altering WB like this is rather pointless as -100 is ambiguous and the settings should be done visually, NOT numerically to provide a pleasing rendering from each raw.
More about this from a colorimetric standpoint:
