### Method 1 - New Adjustment []

Today I'm going to share with you three ways to absolutely accurately fix white balance in Photoshop. The first is in the latest version of Photoshop. All you have to do is to click on the adjustment layer icon and then pick color and vibrance. That's it. And here you have the white balance settings. To make it easier for you, click on the eyropper and click on any of the areas which should have been neutral in real life when this photo was being taken. So I'm assuming this wall. Just click there and fixed. By the way, I recommend setting the sample size to 3x3 so that it takes an average color of 3x3 pixels. You can also try clicking on other areas to see the kind of results they give you. This seems nice to me and you can go with that. Here's the before and here is the

after. Now, if you don't have access to this, you can also obviously use Camera Raw, but there's a trick inside of Camera Raw, too. Let's delete this. For Camera Raw, you need to make a copy of this layer. With the background layer selected, press control or command J. So that's a drawback with the first method. At least you have an adjustment layer which is way more flexible. Anyway, if you're working with Lightroom or Camera Raw first. So this is how to do it. Go to filter convert for smart filter so that we can change the values later. Now let's go to filter and then camera raw filter. And here's a trick inside of it. In the color section, of course, just like we did with the first method with the eyropper, you can click on one of these areas. But if you want to be absolutely sure and absolutely accurate, you can also take an average color. With that eyropper activated, you can just click and drag and take an average of all of those areas. There you go. This takes an average of all the colors in that area, giving it absolute accuracy. If you think that all of this area should have been neutral, but there are some deviations here and there, of course, in real life. So, you can take an entire area like this and take an average of that. And this is the result and it's pretty accurate. Hit okay once you're satisfied. But before you do, let's remember this number -7 + 21 for now. Hit okay. This is second way of doing

it. If you really wanted to be accurate about it and still use that adjustment layer, let's delete that. Remember that number minus 17 + 21 somewhere around that. So click on the adjustment layer icon. Choose the same color and vibrance and type in the same number -7 21. There we go. Absolute accuracy. So you take that averaged number from inside of

camera raw. Now while we are here and if you want absolute,000% accuracy based on the average of all the areas that should have been neutral, here's another way. Let's delete this layer. With the background layer selected, press control or command J to make a copy of that. Now take the lasso tool and make a rough selection of all of those areas which you think should have been neutral in real life. So I'm just going to add by holding the shift key this area as well. This entire area you can just keep on adding just to make sure that you have considered everything. Now I would not consider her dress because it's differently colored in different areas. Maybe this area too. Once all those areas are selected, go to filter, blur, average. It will take an average of everything. Now, this color might look different from this color, but trust me, it is exactly the same. It's just an illusion. Control or command D. By the way, just to prove it to you, let's take the color picker. This color is right here, right? This color is also right there. So, it's an illusion. Hit cancel for now. You already know what we are going to do from here. Simply click on the adjustment layer icon, color and vibrance. Again, with the eyropper, click on any one of those averaged areas. And there you have absolute accuracy. Let's hide it for now. And you can delete this or turn this averaged layer off. So that's another way of getting perfect white balance in Photoshop.
