To use the Auto Balance button:

1

Move the playhead in the Timeline to a representative frame of the shot you want to
automatically color balance.

2

Click Auto Balance.

Once the analysis has been performed, the Red, Green, and Blue Lift and Gain
parameters in the Advanced tab of the Primary In room are automatically set to contain
the results of these adjustments. The result should render whites, grays, and blacks in
the image completely neutral.

Since the necessary adjustments are made to the Lift and Gain parameters in the
Advanced tab, the main Shadow, Midtone, Highlight, and Curves controls remain
unused and are still available to you for further adjustment of the image.
