The Color Corrector filter automatically adjusts the Balance control to compensate for
whatever tint exists in that area of the picture. In this example, click a highlight of the
white bedspread.
Remember, don’t select an area that’s overexposed, like a light source or a shiny
highlight. This does not give you the desired result. Instead, select a properly exposed
area of your picture that’s white, like a well-lit shirt sleeve or white wall. You may have
to try several different spots to get the result you want; don’t hesitate to undo this
operation and try again if you’re not satisfied with the results of your initial selection.
Since the picture was tinted into the blues, when you click the eyedropper on part of
the white bedspread, the balance control indicator moves into a mixture of red and
yellow to turn the whites of the image into true white.
You can see the correction in the Canvas.
The balance control
indicator moves to
correct the whites.
