Originally posted by FuzzyOne I tried a search and couldn't find the answer. This has happened to me several times and I don't know how to handle it. If I take a picture which is primarily lit by tungsten lights and I set my white balance to tungsten, any natural light (such as window light) shows blue.
I have posted an example which shows what I mean. See the blue light from the window? Well, I don't like that
What can I do differently?
Thanks....

Center-weighted average Out of the box, probably not much. Tungsten light is like 2500K, daylight is 9000-12000. Correct for one, get a tint in the other.
f you were doing this professionally, you'd probably put tungsten spots to shine though the window.
You can correct in post process w/ masking ect. but a PIA.
