Significant white balance shift on export to any recipe.

Dickon Whitehead

I photograph artists work for reproduction. Use Profiled camera and Lacie self calibrating monitor. My current Capture One 22 issue is that all my exports suffer from a white balance shift of approximately 750 kelvin with a plus magenta shift around 7 (as measured on a re-imported exported file, if that makes sense).

Currently on Mac OS 12.6 which may be an issue.

Another gripe that may be related is that all thumbnail images in the browser appear to have the same or similar colour shift as the exported image.

Have tried all versions of proof profile in the viewer with no change to export issue.

If I set my white balance to be -750 with -7 towards green tint from where it reads and looks correct within capture one I seem to get a perfect image exported, )perfect in this case with Adobe RGB values of a grey patch reading 135,135,135).

Help!

    Problem solved. In Colour Preferences rendering intent had changed to absolute colormetric instead of relative colormetric. Hope this helps someone else. I have no idea why that preference had changed. Changing preference back to Relative solves this issue.

    Interesting, I have exactly the same issue and came across your post. Unfortunately your solution doesn't seem to work for me. I'm finding I have to reduce the temperature 6% and shifting magenta 6% of the exported file to (nearly) match the original.

    Hi Kevin, sorry to hear your similar issue, as it turned out my problem was a wrongly set colour preference. Maybe just check that your viewing profile is set to either recipe profile (but only if you have your intended export option preselected— I would never be that organised!) or as I di always select viewing profile to your preference of Adobe RGB or sRGB.
    Best of Luck

    Thanks for that Dickon. Yes, I've tried recipe proofing and the proof profile option.

    I'm going to calibrate my monitor at the weekend before placing a support call.

    Fingers crossed!
