Camera Raw White Balance Correction Using Color Sampler Tool

https://www.shutterbuggs.com/ - Two of the most useful tools and Camera Raw are the white balance and color sampler eyedroppers. Now, each of these tools assist in establishing a sound foundation from which you can accurately make color balance adjustments to your photographs. Now, if we go to the top left-hand corner, you’ll notice you have the tools menu, and the third one in from the left is the white balance tool. You can either click on it or press “i” on your keyboard to bring it up. Now, the white balance tool allows you to pick or choose an area in your photo that you believe to be neutral. So neutral values simply representative of things like, say, a white shirt, or a white cloud, or if you’re looking for something closer to an 18% gray, that could be something similar to a rock, or concrete, or in this case you’ve got headstones and statues that you can choose as being your neutral values. Once you actually go and start playing around with this tool, you’ll notice as you click on different areas, the tool itself will actually automatically correct the white balance adjustments in the basic power cross here on the right-hand side. You’ll notice that the actual temperature and tint sliders will actually start to change, so if I just start clicking around here for some different values, you’ll notice that those are automatically changing every time I click on a certain area. Now, for this particular image, I believe that just up here around the sort of darker areas or mid tone areas of this actual statue, are going to be representative of a nice sort of white balance. And what you’ll notice is, now if you go up to the right-hand top corner where you’ve got the histogram, just underneath that where you have the RGB values that are associated with where the eyedropper is being hovered over. So you can see now that the adjustment that’s been made to the temperature and the tint slider has now balanced all three colors so they’re almost identical. The red is out by one unit so that it’s almost a perfect neutral value that it’s actually gone and created for us so it’s really quite neat in that respect. And If I go around and just click on a couple of different areas, you’ll notice, so at the moment, up the top here it’s going to 123, 123, 124. Now if I just scroll over to a different value, you’ll notice that, so this one is sitting at 159, 160, 152, and if I click on it, now it becomes 160, 159, 158, so it becomes very close to being accurate and neutral in value once again. So that’s essentially what the white balance tool does. Beside the white balance tool is the color sampler tool which is identical to that that is found in Photoshop. Now, if we go up to the tools menu, you’ll notice that it’s the fourth in from the left. So if we click on the color sampler tool or just press “s” on the keyboard, it’ll bring it up. Now, unlike the white balance tool, it won’t actually make corrections to images, instead it allows you to sample multiple areas within your image and monitor those values as you make changes to your image in real-time. So this is extremely useful if you’d like to make sure that your highlights, grays, and blacks remain neutral and free of any color casts throughout the editing process. So you’re allowed to add up to nine color samplers to your image. So to start off with, let’s add one to the neutral area here that I like, and we’ll add one to the blacks, and let’s say, for example, I’m not going to add one to the autumn foliage because that’s going to be a little bit hard to judge, but we could add one to the pole that sort of goes around the actual headstone and the actual grave itself. So there, I’ve added three color samplers and as you can see at the top here, I’ve got one, two, and three. Now the values that actually are being sampled by those color samplers. So what you would essentially want to do as you’re making your adjustments, you’d like to sort of make sure that those values are all quite similar in order to avoid color casts. For example, in the shadows at the moment, you see that the red is a lot higher than the green and the blue, so you try and balance those out as you’re making your adjustments. Or even if you use the white balance tool to begin with and you get a neutral white balance, as you make further corrections, you may actually throw that white balance off again, so it gives you something to sort of judge and monitor the actual corrections that you’re making to your images so it is extremely useful.
