jpeg white balance presets

I was messing around with jpeg white balances and saw a small video on the net how to make white balance presets in CS5 and CS4 to use for jpegs so jpeg shoots can use virtually the same white balance selections that is in the raw editor. Basically they all work except tungsten. When using the tungsten preset on a tungsten shot where tungsten was selected on the camera, the image all of a sudden changes to blue, like there was no gel on the flash to balance it out or something when there was. The tungsten setting on the same image's raw file comes out great..why the difference? All the others work.

Maybe if you could provide a link to the video we could understand better what you are talking about and discuss it.

Why would you be adjusting WB on a JPG?

Sometimes, when you're not looking, a jpeg file will show up on you're computer.
In dire need of a WB adjustment.
It happens to me all the time.

Sneaky little weasels, those JPGs!

I got them all made but the tungsten isn't working correctly.

Should work...
Screenshot of the applied setting?

I found the problem. Apparantley when you shoot with a tungsten WB and gel for that, the tungsten wb in CS5 can't do anymore and treats it like the tungsten WB setting in the camera doesn't exist..I processed a gelled tungsten shot with WB set at tungsten and when using the tungsten preset the pic turns blue like a flash was used on a tungsten WB setting..weird I know..but I shot a tungsten pic with no flash and no gel and the jpeg preset tungsten setting worked perfect...

What do you mean by "gelled"?

CC filter on the lens?

A warming gel on the flash, I would guess

Not by the effect he's describing...
(Unless the camera set "Flash" WB because a flash was used and ACR pics that up, but then the "tungsten" preset isn't working like it should)

I agree something sounds amiss, but since he's talking about "jpeg presets" I'm wondering if things might be a bit skewered? I dunno...

no,cto or orange gel on the flash when taking the image and camera wb set to tungsten.

In that case it should work I'd say...

I know..but it doesn't..it works yes on images where flash was not used..but when flash was used it's like it picks up the flash and ignores the tungsten no matter how the flash was gelled. Oh well.
