Color temperature and Tint

The problem is that the user interface is broken! The white balance actually works correctly, the user interface is just impossible to understand for any sane human being. I have complained about the same thing in another thread.

The problem is that by default, if you uncheck the white balance, it will use the white balance values from the picture of which you had created the preset but that behavior is not visible to the user, as the user interface might actually show other values. The solution is to never ever turn the white balance module off. If you have any preset that has the white balance module turned off by default, it will just use any white balance, the behavior is not clear to understand in my view. Just turn the box on, and set the white balance either to ‘as shot’ or to a fixed value. ‘As shot’ will read the values from your camera. If these values differ, that is normal, every raw program interpretes white balance a bit different, they will be different in Lightroom, Capture One and Photolab. But the colors should be correct.
