What Is White Balance?

White balance adjusts the colors in your photos to make them look more natural. It ensures that the colors are consistent and accurate, matching the lighting conditions of the scene.

Choosing The Best White Balance Setting

The best white balance setting is one that suits your workflow and personal preference. Here are some options:

Auto White Balance (AWB): Ideal for quick shots and varying lighting conditions. The camera automatically adjusts the white balance, saving time during the shoot.
Kelvin (K): Provides greater control, allowing you to manually set the color temperature. This is beneficial for consistent lighting conditions and when you want a specific look.
Custom White Balance: Perfect for precise control. You can set it manually using a gray card or another neutral reference, ensuring accurate colors in your photos.

Why White Balance Matters For REFINED Presets

Getting the white balance right can make or break your photos when using REFINED Co presets. Proper white balance ensures the colors in your images are true to life and enhances the overall aesthetic of your photos.
