Pick white balance different to manual white balance values

Hi,

 

I am editing underwater photos, mainly the white balance. When picking a grey area in the photo, the white balance adjustment is as I want it to be. However, when I enter the same values for Kelvin and Tint manually, the white balance is very different. The first attached photo shows the values that are used when I pick a grey area in the photo, the second photo shows the same values entered manually but a very different adjustment. This is an issue for me because I'd like to apply the same white balance adjustments to hundreds of photos.

  That is really strange. 

  But you can copy&apply the same values to many images. Set the WB as desired for one image, select all target images, make the correctly adjusted image the primary variant by clicking on it, then shift click on the small double arrow in the WB tool. 

  This should copy the values from the primary variant to the other selected images but of course the question arises if this adjusts the images as desired or if it works as if you'd have manually entered the values into it.

  Thanks! I tried it, but it's the same as typing in the values manually, the white balance does not change.
