Q3 - WB in Lightroom

Unlike with other cameras (including the Q2), the WB settings in LR (other than the "As shot" setting) don't work. Why? Below are three sample images: As shot, Auto,and Daylight. In DxO PL6, WB is also off. WB works in Snapseed on my phone. Must be a LR issue.

After trying C1 and PL6, the headline could read: WB off in LR, C1 and PL 6. All three show the same results. So it must be something about the DNG file that doesn't agree with alle three editors.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I have also found a similar issue.  To my eye the first image is the most realistic.  Is that your assessment?  I am used to taking custom WB on many of my gigs.  Would rather not with my pleasure cam.

Yes, the first one is spot on. The others are completely off. Not sure what's causing this in all three programs.

The latest Version of LrC (13) doesn't fix the WB issue. Too bad.

I had the same issue - I talked with Leica and we found a solution. In LR you have to change the presets settings to global camera settings and choose Leica Q3. This has helped me. Cross the fingers that it also works for you

That's how my LR settings have been all the time.
