White Balance adjusts the photo's color balance and chroma distribution, concentrating the correction where it is useful while avoiding unnecessary structural changes. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Choose White Balance for album artwork and editorial covers, landscapes with clear shadow and highlight separation, or travel photographs with mixed colors when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure.
