Hi Charles:  I tried to post these when your thread was up, but didn't get
around to it--sorry for the delay.  I was at a function a few weeks ago and
tried to shoot this auditorium, but I couldn't get a shot that wasn't green.
When I chimped after shooting, I was, to say the least, surprised & thought
the k7 was on the blink.  Another photographer at the function was having
the exact same problem, but neither of us could account for the outcome,
though we figured it had something to do with the lighting.

I had absolutely no luck in fixing the white balance in Lightroom 2.7.  I
did, however, convert the photo of the two women to an acceptable black and
white rendering.  So, it's not just you.  There's wacky lighting out there
in the universe that likes to torment photographers :-)

Hmmm?

I temporarily saved a copy of your photo of the two ladies and it only took a few clicks with the eyedropper tool in ACR to find an acceptable White Balance.

Just click around on either of the white tops until you find what you want. I think the "shadow" areas on white clothing gives a slightly better rendering than pure white highlights do, but that's personal preference.

The eyedropper tool in LightRoom's develop module works even better because you can preview the adjustment just from hovering the point over a pixel before clicking.
