Finding & Fixing Tint and Temp Casts | 4 Sliders to Correct Color Balance in any Photograph

- I've seen image after image recently with color balance issues so I wanted to just address this today in a quick video demonstrating a super-easy way to find, fix and correct color balance in Photoshop, Lightroom or any other editing program. The prerequisite for this working is that you know what the colours SHOULD be. If you know what should be there, you can remove the colours that shouldn't be!
Using 4 sliders together, we can correct imbalance issues and fine-tune at the end to get the perfect output to start your editing on. when editing photographs, correcting white balance should be done right at the very start, not right at the very end. Remember that!
There is a blog on this topic that outlines the steps one by one if you prefer to learn that way:

The girl knows what she's doing 👏👏👏
*Sometimes 😂
Skin tones are something I REALLY struggle with. What a great tip. I have never thought about the upping the vibrance and trying it out that way. Thanks again for another very educational video!
Glad it was helpful!
I. Am. Literally. Mind. Blown. What a short and super sweet/helpful video!! Can't wait to try this out!! Thank u so much! I have a black dog and excited to see how this method works on him!
Wahoo - good luck!
Oh, this is going to be so helpful! I've never heard anyone suggest that we increase our vibrance and saturation so that we can check our white balance and see what's going on in the blacks, grays, and browns. This is way cool!
👌🏼
Wow, this tip was so simple but absolutely worth spending 9:30mins of my life for, I never thought that i can fix WB that accurately and easily, Thankyou very very much for sharing your valuable knowledge🤍
Glad you found this useful and that the 10 minutes you invested in this proves its worth going forwards 🤓
Can't believe I never thought about that, hyper-saturating to target the right colors makes a ton of sense, thanks :>
You just blew my mind! After 8 years of photography and watching probably thousands of videos, including plenty of paid courses, this is the first time I've come across this little trick. White balance is my nemesis!! I went straight to Lightroom to try it on a bunch of new and old photos, and WOW. It worked amazingly on most, but I did have trouble with a few. I'd love to see you demonstrate some more examples using skin tones specifically.
I'm glad you found this useful ☺
Thanks! Never would have thought to use vibrance that way
Thank you so much for that feedback 🙏
Game changer! Cannot wait to get home and try this out. Thank YOU!!!
Great to hear that Polly!
Brilliant video! This is something I was trying to improve on this morning and along comes this video perfectly explaining it. I mostly do wildlife photography but after getting nagged by friends and family to photograph their dogs, cats, and horses I found this channel a couple months ago, and it's made my work twice as good as it was before. Your videos are so clearly explained it's been incredibly helpful, really I can't thank you enough.
Ah thank you so much Harry - welcome to the gang and I am glad our videos are helping!
Such a simple trick! But how affective was that! Never knew! Every day's a school day. Love these edding tips!
Every day is indeed a school day 😀 Thank you 🙏
The thing is that I'm not really dog/animal photoshooter but I do appreciate your knowledge and skills. Once again you surprised me with the trick I haven't seen before. Thank you for that. You are a 🌟
Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you SO MUCH!! White balance is something I have struggled to fix in post. This just saved me from pulling my hair out.

Glad it helped!
Great video, thanks for sharing your skills!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Setting the WB WITHOUT a neutral colour reference - who new? I did a shoot at the weekend and was having a hard time deciding on an acceptable white balance, this technique was extremely helpful - thank you!

Thank you Jess, this helps so much.

This has been a game changer for me! Thank you, now I can see the colour cast and tones that were just off.

Thank you for this! I’m just learning all of this and photography and only have Lightroom mobile, however there’s still things I learned from this video. I’m always struggling with colors that are off, I can see it, but don’t know how to fix it, it drives me crazy! Your videos have already helped me so much! Your knowledge and experience are incredible, thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent with the rest of us! I’m starting later in life, I don’t want to waste any time, I want to learn as much as I possibly can in a straightforward way.

Wished I had spotted this sooner. I have a chocolate Labrador and use mostly Lightroom, I’ve been struggling with getting her colour balance right. Just re-edited my photos of her using your tips, what a difference it’s made. Great video and thank you for taking the time to put all these videos together.
That's amazing feedback, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏
THANK YOU for this video, I am ”suffering” from colorblindness (I have a bit difficult seeing difference between red and green and also between blue and purple). I just got into photography and I’ve noticed that white balance has been the one thing a I’ve found difficult to get right.
This will definitely help me as the ”wrong” colors will show even clearer. Thank you Jess!
You're very welcome. I'm glad this video was useful for you 😀
Fantastic!
Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks a lot for your super useful tip!
You're so welcome, thank you 🙏

Ok, no problem!
Very very nice 👍
Thank you 🙏
@@ThatPhotographySpot 🙏
Would you know how to calibrate screens for editing?
Thank you. Very helpful. Are there any changes to this using local adjustments now that we have masking for subjects, objectives, etc?
OH.MY.GOD.
YOU MADE MY DAY.
THANK YOU.
YES, I'M SCREAMING 😂
WAHOO!
GLAD IT HELPED!
WE ARE SCREAMING TOO! 🤗
@@ThatPhotographySpot 😂😂
Very interesting and effective technique, indeed. Thank you very much. I do have a question though: what if I took my shot during the blue hour and I have to keep this atmosphere in my final edit? Should I leave a slight blue cast on the dog's coat?
Yes! This is where knowing what colours should be there is important ☺️
What if you have multiple subjects with different color casts please?
Use masks and do it in Photoshop 👌🏼
Thank you for sharing your great tips with us! But what if there are blueish reflections of the sky on dark hair? Isn't it just natural? Or do we want to get rid of those reflections just because they don't look good? I've just probably answered my own question... :)
Thank you so much for the great feedback 🙏 Everything with photography is usually a case by case basis, but most of the time I balance to the light hitting the top of the subject to neutralise that 😊
Not too sure about this one. Using this method you can also take away the gold from golden hour, the blue from blue hour and the weird green glow from under a storm cloud. Some colour casts are meant to be there, and white isn't always meant to look white, otherwise you might as well just hit the autobland button. Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding the intent. Other than that, good method if you don't know where your white balance is at.
Exactly , This is where knowing what colours should be there on the subject is important ☺️
Amazing tips, thank you! But why do all photographers hate on true to life green? 😂
It’s often the brightest and most saturated area of an image, so it fights constantly with the intended subject. That’s probably why 😊
Look at you girlfriend, you taught an old dog a new trick today...
😂 then mission accomplished! 🥳
Brilliant
Thank you 🙏🏼
