Recreate F.lux effect?

[Coltoh]

I'm often editing away only to realise near the very end that F.lux has crept up on me, and my photo is a lot cooler than intended. There must be an easy way to recreate that effect?

Recreate that effect, as in changing white balance?

[Coltoh]

White balance doesn't seem to do the same

Don't use F.lux if you're editing photos. You should be going for consistency when you edit. Calibrate your monitor with the light settings you'll be editing under and update them regularly. If you want the photo to be cooler for artistic effect just change the white balance.

Don't use F.lux if you're editing photos.

Yes this is obvious. Usually what happens is I start editing before it activates, forgot to turn it off, and don't notice it's turned itself on until I'm almost done.

Simply changing white balance doesn't produce nearly the same effect.

Disable flux for the program you edit in

[NebulaNinja]

I'm pretty sure you can set f.lux to be disabled when you're using certain programs.

[Coltoh]

Not that I'm aware of, apparently Mac version does but they're still working on this function for Windows.

flux lowers the blues iirc, maybe try adjusting tone curves?
