Choose a white balance preset option
❖
In the Basic panel of the Develop module, choose an option from the WB pop-up menu. As Shot uses the camera’s
white balance settings, if they are available. Auto calculates the white balance based on the image data.
Lightroom applies the white balance setting and moves the Temp and Tint sliders in the Basic panel accordingly. Use
these sliders to fine-tune the color balance. (For more information, see below.)
Note:
If the camera’s white balance settings are not available, then the Auto option is the default.
Specify a neutral area in the photo
1
In the Basic panel of the Develop module, click the White Balance Selector tool
to select it, or press the W key.
2
Move the White Balance Selector into an area of the photo that should be a neutral light gray. Avoid spectral
highlights or areas that are 100% white.
3
Set options in the toolbar as needed.
Show Loupe
Displays a close-up view and RGB values of the pixel under the White Balance Selector.
Scale Slider
Zooms the close-up view in the Loupe.
Auto Dismiss
Sets the White Balance Selector tool to dismiss automatically after clicking only once in the photo.
Done
Dismisses the White Balance Selector tool, and the pointer changes to the Hand or Zoom-in tool by default.
The Navigator displays a preview of the color balance as you move the White Balance Selector over different pixels.
4
When you find an appropriate area, click it.
The Temp and Tint sliders in the Basic panel adjust to make the selected color neutral, if possible.
Fine-tune the white balance using the Temp and Tint controls
❖
In the Basic panel of the Develop module, adjust the Temp and Tint sliders.
Temp
Fine-tunes the white balance using the Kelvin color temperature scale. Move the slider to the left to make the
photo appear cooler, and right to warm the photo colors.
You can also set a specific Kelvin value in the Temp text box to match the color of the ambient light. Double-click
the current value to select the text box and enter a new value. For example, photographic tungsten lights are often
balanced at 3200 Kelvin. If you shoot under photo tungsten lights and set the image temperature to 3200, your photos
should appear color balanced.
One of the benefits of working with raw files is that you can adjust the color temperature as if you were changing a
setting in a camera during capture, allowing a broad range of settings. When working with JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files,
you work in a scale of -100 to 100 rather than the Kelvin scale. Non-raw files such as JPEG or TIFF include the
temperate setting in the file, so the temperate scale is more limited.
Tint
Fine-tunes the white balance to compensate for a green or magenta tint. Move the slider to the left (negative
values) to add green to the photo; move it to the right (positive values) to add magenta.
If you see a green or magenta color cast in the shadow areas after adjusting the temperature and tint, try removing
it by adjusting the Shadows Tint slider in the Camera Calibration panel.
