Later, experts teach you how to correct the white balance with good photos.

Novice photographers always find that their photos are either blue or yellow. This problem has a lot to do with the improper setting of white balance in early shooting. Many people don't realize the importance of adjusting white balance to restore true light color.

For digital cameras, the problem of white balance is the problem of color temperature. Therefore, correcting white balance means setting the correct color temperature value for the camera. If the color temperature set by the camera is higher than the ambient color temperature, the picture will turn yellow; If the color temperature set by the camera is lower than the ambient color temperature, it is blue. Only by ensuring that the camera color temperature value is consistent with the ambient color temperature can the scene color be correctly restored.

For example, if you shoot in the sun at noon, the ambient color temperature is about 5200K, and the color temperature of your camera is set to 6000K, the photos you take will be yellow; If you want to shoot a cool blue effect, you should lower the color temperature of the camera below 5200K K K.

Look at the comparison chart.

Before the adjustment, because the camera color temperature is lower than the ambient color temperature, the whole film is blue.

After adjustment, Figure 2 shows the rich colors of clouds at sunrise.

Figure 3 Good photo is an easy-to-use image processing tool. At present, there are not only Windows versions, but also Apple Mac versions, as well as Android versions and iOS versions of mobile clients, which are very suitable for beginners and photographers who like to take pictures casually.

Step 1: Find the white balance correction point. Usually we choose the point closest to white in the scene to correct it, so that the white part of the scene can be restored to true white and other colors will be normal. But in order to express the rich layering of sunrise clouds, we choose the brightest point in the sky as the white balance correction point to restore the color of clouds as much as possible.

After selecting a point, use the eyedropper tool under Color Adjustment to move to the point you selected, and then click it to change the white balance. In addition, you can also try the automatic white balance button next to the straw, which is also very convenient.

Figure 4 Step 2: Observe and adjust. The color temperature value is changed to 100, the color tone is changed to -55, and the picture is the original color. But I found that the picture was still very dark. After observing the histogram information, it is found that it is caused by insufficient information in the bright part of the picture.

Figure 5 Step 3: Correct the highlighted information. In order to remove the darkness, we need to correct the brightness information, and use the color scale to adjust the white point and highlight in the room. The white point is adjusted to 69 and the highlight value is adjusted to 76.

Figure 6 Step 4: Enrich colors. Although the white balance and color scale of this photo have been adjusted back, the color is not bright enough, so the value is adjusted to 30 with the saturation in the basic adjustment.

Figure 7. Make up for the mistakes in the previous white balance setting with good photos through several simple steps. Sometimes, it's not that you don't shoot well enough, but that you don't notice some details. When the early stage is a foregone conclusion, the late stage becomes our only and necessary means.
