Duh ... is what you have written supposed to make any sense? I see you have already "edited" this and yet whatever your point is? ... it's still missing!
apart from using the sliders, what would you do if there were no greys white or blacks in your photo? say an extreme closeup of a face or like a natural landscape shot
@@cglancer One technique is to move the saturation to the maximum, and then adjust the Temperature and Tint sliders to the position where you see the maximum variability of color, then bring the saturation back down. With the Temperature, as you get away from the best point, it will quickly become either too uniformly blue or too red. With the Tint, it will get too green or magenta. At the best setting, you'll see a lot of different colors. Having the saturation turned up makes it easier to see.
While they may sound similar, Smart Filters and Smart Objects in Photoshop serve distinct purposes. Smart Filters allow you to adjust the intensity or settings of a filter after application without affecting the original image data. On the other hand, Smart Objects create a container for layers, allowing you to transform, scale, or rotate them without affecting the original image data.
Hey Aaron, thank you for the video. Just so I understand correctly, in every image that you want to white balance, you should find the most neutral grey area and rectify it so it looks as realistic as possible?
@@phlearn Interesting! This may be a crude way of thinking but if there is no grey section, would making a mid grey square be a sufficient on a separate layer?
I don't find a lot of truly neutral grays in the real world. Many times the photos I'm trying to fix don't have any gray at all and sometimes neither black nor white as well.
Hey there! we hear you, finding neutral tones can be challenging at times. Here are a few suggestions: Often, shadows are closer to neutral grey than other parts of the image. Look for deep shadows that aren't too blue or orange. If your photo includes concrete or pavement, these can sometimes provide a relatively neutral grey reference. Also, If you know the color of an object in the image (e.g., a blue sky, green grass), you can use that color as a relative reference. Adjust the white balance until the known color looks correct. We hope this helps!
@@phlearn In my mind i'm seeing it as, if a curve is corrected to make a whitebalance correct. lets just say it turns out it reduced the Green by 50%, in theory if you done the opposite to a correctly whitebalanced image you would have the same colour gading as first image. If we can work out how to correct a whitebalance from a graded image, can we use that data to copy the colour grading?
This method is rarely good enough and I would not recommend doing it like this alone. If anything it should be a first step to a wider range of color corrections.
That's really bad way to do this, much more better to correct WB with curves (as adjustment layer obviosly) using not only whites picker but blacks and grays picker too. Result will be a way more better and you can edit at any time.
Great video, concise, precise, 100% help, thanks so much !
excellent Phil esay well explained comme d'habitude
Always appreciate your concise helpful tutorials! Thank you!
This was fantastic! Thank you!!
thanks for this video buddy👍just what I needed, subbed and liked👍👏
Aaron, I remember following you on Flickr back around 2006 and being blown away by your photo creations. Happy to still be following along.
So long! Thanks for your support!!!
Thank you for your great video. It was very helpful.
Mind-blowing 😮❤
Thank you for the tip, it helps quite a bit
Nice! But one more thing ... 😊 Instead of clicking its often better to select an area by click and drag with the eyedropper tool

Great as usual! What’s the difference between smart filter and smat object?

Cara, essas imagens aí qualquer um ajusta. Quero ver você ajustar uma imagem escaneada que puxe para o amarelo ou ciano.
Olá! temos muitos tutoriais que cobrem isso também. Se você tiver tempo, dê uma olhada 🤗

All well and good if there’s grey in the shot but what do you do if there isn’t?
See my reply to @cglancer

Is there a way to reverse engineer a colour grading using this?
Hey there! Do you mean figuring out the color palette for a specific image?
@@phlearn In my mind i'm seeing it as, if a curve is corrected to make a whitebalance correct. lets just say it turns out it reduced the Green by 50%, in theory if you done the opposite to a correctly whitebalanced image you would have the same colour gading as first image.

I had been waiting this lesson since many years
Thankyou Sir
Happy to help! Thanks for watching
К сожалению результат до был лучше чем после.
Есть другие способы добиться хорошего цвета ... Но в любом случае благодарю вас за видео
Well done sir.
Please how do I get the mouse highlight you're using?
But the image goes from Green to Magenta. I don't like that result
@@Emulives you can play with more setting according to your choice every person taste is different.
any tips for CS6 lol

При всем моем уважении, но это самые несовершенные способы настроить баланс белого(

@helloiktor Why it's bad way? It's easier 😌 and if you use smart object it will help you to edit it. So why it's a bad way to use?
@@TviTNineeKikson curves are easier, faster and more powerful, you can drag them to other photos, you can edit them at any time
@helloiktor I get it but why is the Camera Raw version bad idea? What's the main flaw?
You can edit smart object at any time too
