It&#8217;s a term that&#8217;s thrown around a lot in the world of photography, yet it&#8217;s unfortunate how many photographers are left scratching their heads when trying to explain or understand it. <\/p>\n<p>Because here&#8217;s the thing: if you want to capture a scene as the human eye perceives it, then white balance should be on your radar. Mastering white balance, both during your shoot and in post-processing, can be the key to more natural-looking photos.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in this article, I&#8217;m going to share everything you ever wanted to know about white balance, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The white balance camera settings you should use for consistently good results<\/li>\n<li>How white balance can instantly improve your shots<\/li>\n<li>How you can use white balance for gorgeous creative effects in your photos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m also going to explain key related terms, such as <em>color temperature<\/em>, <em>white balance presets<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n<p>And I promise you: by the time you&#8217;ve finished this article, you&#8217;ll be an absolute WB expert! Let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n<h2>What is white balance in photography?<\/h2>\n<p>White balance refers to the process of <em>removing <\/em>or <em>neutralizing <\/em>color casts in your images &#8211; because at its core, white balance is about ensuring the colors in your photograph appear as they do in real life.<\/p>\n<p>You see, different light sources emit light with various temperatures and\/or tints. Ever noticed how a photo taken under fluorescent lighting sometimes has a blueish hue? Or how shots by candlelight can seem overly warm or yellow? That&#8217;s the effect of these different light sources on your images.<\/p>\n<p>Since photographers often want to produce images that look natural, white balancing involves carefully adjusting your camera settings or editing tools to counteract these color casts. It&#8217;s about taking an image like this, full of distorted, too-blue colors:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-225415\" style=\"width:544px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:544px;padding-top:110.29%\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"544\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"blue pear without white balancing\" class=\"wp-image-225415 lazyload\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.erjobsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/white-balance-in-photography-1.jpg\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>And adding warm colors until you <em>balance <\/em>out the color cast, so you get a final result like this:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-225417\" style=\"width:544px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:544px;padding-top:110.29%\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"544\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"pear with proper white balancing\" class=\"wp-image-225417 lazyload\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.erjobsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/white-balance-in-photography-3.jpg\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>You might be wondering: If lights have such strong color casts, how come I never notice them? <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good question with a simple answer: human eyes are pretty good at correcting for color casts in real time, but a camera captures the subject as it looks in life. Sometimes, the subject will have neutral tones, but other times it&#8217;ll be very blue (as in the pear photo above) and sometimes very yellow (as in the pear photo below). In both the <em>blue <\/em>and the <em>yellow <\/em>cases, white balancing is necessary to create a neutral image.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a too-yellow pear photo, which requires significant cooling during the white balancing process:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-225419\" style=\"width:544px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:544px;padding-top:110.29%\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"544\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"pear with a warm color cast\" class=\"wp-image-225419 lazyload\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.erjobsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/white-balance-in-photography-2.jpg\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Note that, during white balancing, you&#8217;re adjusting the colors along two spectrums:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The blue-yellow spectrum, also known as the <em>color temperature<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The green-magenta spectrum, also known as the <em>color tint<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In general, natural light only requires correction along the blue-yellow spectrum, but certain types of artificial lighting may produce a noticeable color tint, in which case you&#8217;ll need to correct for that, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Color temperature explained<\/h2>\n<p>The bulk of white balancing in photography consists of <em>color temperature <\/em>correction. You&#8217;re correcting for a cast produced by the color temperature of the light, which lies along the blue-yellow spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: some light sources exude a more yellowish glow, while others lean towards a bluish hue. When we encounter the former, it&#8217;s termed a &#8220;warm&#8221; color temperature. Conversely, the bluish tint signals a &#8220;cool&#8221; color temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Photographers refer to different color temperatures using the <em>Kelvin <\/em>scale. Warmer color temperatures, such as those produced by a candle flame or a setting sun, have a low Kelvin value, such as 3000 K. Neutral color temperatures, such as midday sunlight, have a medium Kelvin value &#8211; around 5000 K. And cooler color temperatures, produced by clouds or shade, have a high Kelvin value of 6000 K and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cooler light has a high Kelvin value? Warmer light has a low Kelvin value? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you read that right, and it can be confusing, especially if you&#8217;ve never encountered the color temperature scale before. But you&#8217;ll get used to it over time (and it can help to think of the color temperatures as simply the <em>opposite <\/em>of what you&#8217;d expect).<\/p>\n<h2>Why is white balance important?<\/h2>\n<p>Color casts cause a couple of problems in photography.<\/p>\n<p>First, they prevent you from capturing <em>accurate<\/em>, <em>true <\/em>colors in a scene. If you want to photograph a beautiful red sunset exactly as it appears to your eye, you&#8217;ll need to neutralize any color casts; otherwise, your image won&#8217;t match the real-life conditions you experienced.<\/p>\n<p>This can also be an issue if you&#8217;re doing product photography or real-estate photography, where the goal is to portray the subject as true to life as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Second, color casts tend to look <em>bad<\/em>. They can mess with portrait skin tones, they can create muddy shadows and sickly highlights, and they can create unwanted moods in your photos.<\/p>\n<p>As I explain later in this article, you can use a color cast for creative effect &#8211; but it&#8217;s important that you do this <em>carefully <\/em>and <em>deliberately<\/em>, rather than as a failure to properly white balance a scene. Make sense?<\/p>\n<h2>The two white balancing methods<\/h2>\n<p>You can adjust the white balance of your images in two broad ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In camera, <em>before <\/em>taking a shot<\/li>\n<li>Afterward, in post-processing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Both approaches can work, but there are some important caveats to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<h3>In-camera white balancing<\/h3>\n<p>Most cameras allow you to adjust your white balance settings before ever taking a photo. <\/p>\n<p>For instance, you can select a white balance <em>preset<\/em> (such as Tungsten, Flash, Cloudy, etc.), which allows your camera to roughly understand and compensate for the lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Some cameras also allow for a custom white balance. Here, you simply dial in a Kelvin value (remember the color temperature scale I shared above?). A high Kelvin value will balance out cooler light and a low Kelvin value will balance out warmer light. <\/p>\n<p>Your camera may even be capable of <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/setting-your-white-balance-with-a-gray-card-a-tip-from-phil-steele\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"white balancing off a gray card (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">white balancing off a gray card<\/a>. Put the gray card in front of your camera, select the right function in the menu, take a picture, and &#8211; voila! &#8211; your camera will create an accurate color temperature profile of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>But while these white balance options allow you to handle color casts in the field, they come with some drawbacks:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unless you&#8217;re in an enclosed environment, the light will likely change over the course of your shoot. You&#8217;ll need to periodically update your white balance preset or redo the gray card process as the sun goes behind clouds, as it sets, etc.<\/li>\n<li>White balance presets, while easy to use, are only approximate. They often won&#8217;t produce a perfect result.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re shooting action from a distance, taking a gray card reading is impossible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That&#8217;s why some photographers prefer a different method of white balancing:<\/p>\n<h3>White balancing while editing<\/h3>\n<p>White balancing in post-processing is pretty simple:<\/p>\n<p>Just set your camera to its <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/auto-white-balance-yay-nay\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Auto White Balance function (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Auto White Balance function<\/a> when out shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Then, when you get back home, open your photos in your editing program of choice. <\/p>\n<p>Most editors offer a similar process, which involves using the white balance eyedropper to identify a neutral tone and fine-tuning via the Temperature and Tint sliders. (Below, I give a step-by-step process for <a aria-label=\"white balancing photos in Lightroom (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/adjusting-white-balance-in-lightroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">white balancing photos in Lightroom<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>You can white balance each photo individually, or you can create a white balance adjustment for one (or a handful) of photos, then sync the adjustment across the entire set.<\/p>\n<p>After-the-fact white balancing is nice, but like in-camera white balancing, there are a few points you need to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You&#8217;ll need to set aside extra time in post-processing to do your white balancing. And while you can save time with batch processing and presets, if you&#8217;re capturing lots of images under different lighting conditions, you may prefer the relative ease of in-camera white balancing.<\/li>\n<li>Unless you take photos with a gray card in the frame, you may struggle to get a <em>perfect <\/em>white balance result with editing. In many cases, that&#8217;s fine &#8211; the color cast may be barely perceptible &#8211; but if you&#8217;re photographing products, your client may require literally perfect colors.<\/li>\n<li>For complete white balancing flexibility in editing, you must shoot in <a aria-label=\"RAW (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/raw-vs-jpeg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">RAW<\/a>. While JPEGs allow for some white balance adjustments, you&#8217;ll be limited an often-unacceptable amount &#8211; whereas RAW files let you completely set and reset the white balance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So while post-processing and in-camera white balancing are both serviceable, you&#8217;ll ultimately need to choose the option that works best for <em>you<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to white balance using in-camera presets<\/h2>\n<p>While white balance presets aren&#8217;t the most accurate way to color correct, they&#8217;re an easy way to get started (and if you&#8217;re simply capturing photos to share on social media, they may be all you require).<\/p>\n<p>Simply pull up your in-camera white balance menu. You should see several presets, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sunny, which works for mid-morning and mid-afternoon sun<\/li>\n<li>Shade, which works for scenarios with heavy shade (e.g., portraits under a tree)<\/li>\n<li>Cloudy, which works for outdoor scenes featuring overcast lighting<\/li>\n<li>Flash, which works for scenes lit by standard off-camera speedlights and pop-up flashes<\/li>\n<li>Incandescent, which works for indoor scenes lit by standard warm bulbs<\/li>\n<li>Fluorescent, which works for indoor scenes lit by fluorescent bulbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then pick the preset that most closely matches the lighting conditions you&#8217;re experiencing and start taking photos! You will need to pay close attention to the light as you continue shooting; if it changes significantly, you should switch presets to reflect the new conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>How to white balance your photos in Lightroom<\/h2>\n<p>Lightroom color correction is a quick and painless process. <\/p>\n<p>First, open an image in the Develop module, then find the <strong>WB <\/strong>section on the right-hand side:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-225437\" style=\"width:1500px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:1500px;padding-top:56.53%\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1500\" height=\"848\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"adjusting the white balance in Lightroom\" class=\"wp-image-225437 lazyload\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.erjobsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/photo-editing-for-beginners-4006-1.jpg\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next, select the Eyedropper icon:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-225439\" style=\"width:642px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:642px;padding-top:74.45%\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"642\" height=\"478\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"the Eyedropper tool in Lightroom\" class=\"wp-image-225439 lazyload\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.erjobsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/photo-editing-for-beginners-4007.jpg\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then click on a part of your image that should look a <em>neutral <\/em>gray or white.

This generally works best when applied in a post-processing program, <em>not <\/em>in camera (though you can technically do it either way). <\/p>\n<p>The idea here is simple:<\/p>\n<p>By applying a too-cold white balance to your photos, you can create a somber, moody effect.<\/p>\n<p>And by applying a too-warm white balance to your photos, you can create a welcoming, inviting, even <em>nostalgic<\/em> effect.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t recommend you push the white balance too far &#8211; at some point, your photos may look unnatural &#8211; but a bit of cool or warm color is often nice when added carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Note that you can also use an &#8220;incorrect&#8221; white balance to exaggerate the conditions of the scene. Adding cool hues will give images a shady or night effect, while adding warm hues will give images a sunrise or sunset effect. Again, use this<em> <\/em>technique with care. It&#8217;s easy to go overboard and end up with garish, unpleasant results.<\/p>\n<h2>White balance in photography: final words<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve finished this article, you&#8217;re ready to start adjusting the white balance in your photos so you can capture truly lifelike, authentic images. <\/p>\n<p>Remember, however: don&#8217;t be confined by the idea of &#8220;correctness.&#8221; As with many elements in photography, white balance can also be a tool for artistic expression. Explore, experiment, and embrace the power of white balance to transform the mood and atmosphere of your shots.<\/p>\n<p>So go out with your camera. Practice working with white balance.
