I actually like the result from adjusting WB in DPP. But, I have noticed that after I adjust the WB in DPP the images goes back to the original when imported into LR2. Then, when I try to adjust the WB in LR it just doesn't seem to hit the spot as easily as in DPP.
I have even 'saved' the changes in DPP but they are reverted back to the original when imported into LR.
Just wondering what everyone else uses to correct WB.
Also, if you know of a work around to allow the changes made in DPP to remain even when imported into LR.
Nothing you do in DPP will "show up" in LR -- DPP writes processing info in a proprietary place in the file "header" that only Canon software can "see" when you do a Save. The only way of getting a processed file to "show up" in other software is to do a Convert and Save or Batch Process and convert the image to an image format (jpg or tiff).
Actually, Adobe does something similar if you use, say, Lightroom to "Write Metadata to File". You can use Photoshop (Bridge and Camera Raw) to read the Lightroom processing, keywords, etc, but other software won't. You have to Export the image, again, to a jpeg or tiff for outside software to "see" it.
As far as LR White Balance, well, it's just going to be in how you tweak it. If you have a White Balance target in one of your shots, using the White Balance eyedropper should get good results, just note that Lightroom and DPP can't be expected to get exactly the same results, so getting things the way you like them is up to you. Some people actually prefer to use DPP over Lightroom because to them it is easier to get things the way they like in DPP than it is in LR -- it's a matter of personal preference.
