One of the easiest problems to fix, especially with a RAW file, is improper white balance. In this video, Richard Harrington demonstrates how to fix an image’s white balance in Adobe Lightroom.
- While your camera's likely pretty good at capturing…accurate color, sometimes it can become confused.…One of the easiest problems to fix,…particularly with a RAW file, is an improper white balance.…Let's go the library section here,…and I'll choose the third folder, for color problems.…What I have here are two images where the white balance…is off just a little bit.…In this particular case, the image just seems…a bit greenish.…Yes, there's vegetation, but I'm just not happy…with the overall image.…
Now, I'll go to the develop module here,…and take a look at things.…And one of the easiest ways to spot a problem…is to take a look for colors that are a little bit off.…In this case, you see that there's auto white balance…and other choices, or you could take a look…at how the camera shot it, which in this case…looks too blue.…So auto doesn't look good.…Nor does what the camera thought look quite right either.…In this case, one of the easiest ways to fix…is to take the eyedropper tool and click on something…that should be white.…
