Color Adjustments
The Color Adjustments pane is used for applying color image specific adjustments such as white balance to color images.
In order for color adjustments for SLOW files to persist after re-opening, the file must be re-saved.
Color adjustments are applied permanently to pixel data when images are saved to file formats other than .SLOW.
White Balance
White balance adjusts the color temperature of an image to ensure that white objects appear neutral under different lighting conditions. It compensates for color casts caused by various light sources, such as daylight, tungsten, or fluorescent lighting, to maintain accurate and natural colors.
White balance is applied before interpolation and image adjustments
Adjustments
Each color channel Red, Green, & Blue can be manually adjusted in the range of 0.10 → 10.00. These are multiplicative factors that apply gain to only the relative color channel.
Auto White Balance Button
Pressing the Auto White Balance button will automatically adjust each color channel to acheive a good white balance. The gray world algorithm is utilized to calculate the ideal values.
Auto White Balance works best with highly varied content such as a color chart or a gray card that is illuminated well.
