1. Re: white balance in kelvins
KristerP Jun 20, 2014 6:11 AM (in response to Monstrik)Speaking for Nikon D800, you can adjust both Kelvin and tint (just as you can in camera raw). (Tint being the same kind of red-to-green slider).
Under [White Balance] - Choose color.
Naturally I undestand that this might be the correct procedure for D800 only).

2. Re: white balance in kelvins
twenty_one Jun 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to Monstrik)Temperature = degrees Kelvin. That's the blue/yellow axis that refers to black body radiation as it heats up ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation ).
Tint is just the other axis at 90 degrees to that. The tint axis is green/magenta.
You adjust (fine-tune) along the same two axes in the D800, by moving the point vertically or horizontally. But camera and ACR won't necessarily agree as they interpret things a little differently. In any case: If you shoot raw, there's no need to make fine adjustments to this in camera. Do it in ACR. The camera white balance setting does not affect the sensor data or the file itself. ACR just reads the camera setting to get a rough starting point.
