Can You Adjust White Balance in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 10:06 pm

There are a few ways to adjust white balance in Photoshop, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The first way is to use the White Balance tool, which can be found in the Adjustments panel.

This tool allows you to click on a neutral point in your image, and Photoshop will adjust the white balance accordingly. The advantage of this method is that it’s quick and easy; the downside is that it’s not always accurate, and it can sometimes produce strange results.

The second way to adjust white balance is to use the Levels or Curves tools. These tools allow you to make fine-tuned adjustments to the brightness and contrast of your image, respectively.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, adjusting white balance in Photoshop can result in your photos looking unnatural. Be sure to take a look at your image after making any changes to the white balance to ensure that it looks realistic.

To adjust white balance using Levels, simply click on the “Auto” button in the Levels dialog box. To adjust white balance using Curves, click on the “Eye Dropper” tool in the Curves dialog box and then click on a neutral point in your image. The advantage of these methods is that they’re more accurate than the White Balance tool; the downside is that they’re more time-consuming.

The third way to adjust white balance is to use the Camera Raw filter. This filter can be found in the Filter menu, under “Camera Raw.” The advantage of this method is that it allows you to make global changes to your image’s white balance; the downside is that it’s only available in Photoshop CS6 and later.

So, which method should you use? It depends on your needs.

If you need a quick and easy solution, go with the White Balance tool. If you need more accuracy, go with Levels or Curves. And if you’re using Photoshop CS6 or later, go with Camera Raw.
