Basic colour correction: try it yourself

1. White Balance Picker

Use the white-balance picker on a genuinely neutral grey or white area if your editor provides one. Then compare the result with Auto and adjust by eye if the supposedly neutral correction does not suit the scene.

2. Skin Tone Check

Zoom in; skin should be natural, not orange or green.

3. Colour Temperature

Warm (yellow) for cosy, cool (blue) for crisp.

4. Tint Adjustment

Use the tint control on a photograph with a green or magenta cast. Move it in both directions first so you can see what the control changes, then return to a believable result.

5. Match Photos

Make two photos from same shoot look consistent.
