If there are no gray or whites to point the WB selector is there another way to do Custom WB?
Hope my question make sense.

Just click the damn dropper next to the sliders. It looks like an graphic, but it's actually the icon to a tool I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Hope my question make sense. Not in the sense that you can do a Custom WB in the camera. If you don't have a neutral color to point the eyedropper to it's up to your creative judgement (not a bad thing). Any change you make turns into "Custom". Tony

It's listed as Auto in the drop-down menu. Unfortunately, LR's (and presumably ACR's) Auto is usually pretty awful. DPP's is somewhat better, it seems to use an algorithm very similar to the camera AWB and can be usually used at least as a starting point for tweaks. The OP didn't specify what his s/w is and received answers appropriate for LR/ACR. DPP's UI is a bit different - after selecting Auto, click on the Tune button and drag the point in the center of the color ball in the direction of the color you want to add. you can also select one of the presets (Tungsten, Daylight, etc.) or the Temperature option and use it in conjunction with Tune. As Tony notes, all these methods will require you to use creative judgement instead of the narrow-minded compulsion to "accurate" color. Elie / אלי
