BALANCE YOUR WHITES

James Paterson shows you how to apply colour shifts and fix casts in Camera Raw and Lightroom

There's more to white balance than simply getting the whites balanced it's about getting every colour in an image right. There are two ways you can do this: set the white balance in-camera, or shoot in raw and set it afterwards. Best practice is to set it in-camera, but sometimes this isn't practical. By shooting in raw, you can leave your white balance set to Auto WB, safe in the knowledge that you can tweak it afterwards if necessary.
