Ok, I know I would be more likely to get a response over at the Adobe user forums but I don't want to register just to ask one question and I don't feel I should have to register separately for the user-to-user forums if I already have an account for their official forums.

Anyway, I use Camera Raw for raw file conversion both in Bridge and prior to doing work on images imported into Photoshop. I've got all my conversion defaults set how I want them however I've run into a problem with the White Balance presets.

I like the white balance set to "As Shot" by default but for some stupid reason ACR puts a stupidly high magenta tint on my images in this setting. If I set it to 0 everythin is to go. Only problem is that changing the tint changes the White Balance to "Custom" which means I can't use this as the default conversion profile or it will lock down the colour temp as well.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the ACR defaults to allow me to use the camera's temp but force the tint setting to 0 as default? I've gone so far as to manually edit the ACR defaults file but it wont recognise tint pre-sets if White Balance is set to "As Shot".


It's really frustrating me as it means I always have to maually adjust the tint setting on any image I decide to PP.


I'm hoping someone here into photography might have an answer. If not I guess I'll have to go and join the Adobe u2u forums.

Cheers!


PS. Just to add, I even tried making a custom profile with the DNG profile editor where tint was reduced but ACR just pushes up the tint by the amount I reduced it over and above the amount it previously set!
