White Balance Photoshop and Lightroom

[spham92]

Hello everyone!

I love these two programs however i noticed that i get different results from white balancing with both of them. In Lightroom, i use that Doppler to find a neutral point and in photoshop i use the curves tools to find the darkest and lightest color. The photoshop technique, most of the time, gives me rich blacks and pure whites however the lightroom result makes me think maybe my colors are too exaggerated in photoshop. Which technique is more accurate?


The left is lightroom, the right is photoshop

I think the right one is better, but some people may prefer the left one better.

I use gimp, and I get the same haze effect if I just use the dropper. I still have to go in and use the curves tool to richen the contrast up a bit. Also, if LR has white and black point settings, try using that instead of the grey point. I always get funky colors when I use the grey pont dropper. I know nothing about Lightroom. Sorry I can't help there. But I like the one on the right better.

Same problem here. Any color related adjustments I do look different in every program and on the web, yet my color working space is the same and my monitor is now calibrated. Go figure. I kinda like the one on the right, it's more contrasty. This looks like a matter of personal taste as to which is "correct". But I see what you mean, they're slightly different.
Wish I could help!
