The first edit tool is Color Balance.
This tool is used to adjust the color balance of the image. The color balance tool has been implemented with two different types of user interfaces, each of which will be described shortly. We call the two methods Clicking Neutral Objects and Using Sliders. The one that is best for you will depend on your image and your personal preferences. Note that only one of these methods may be used on an image — they will not work in combination with each other, and when you switch from one method to the other, any existing color balance edits are undone.
Also note that the Using Sliders method is only available if you have enabled the Show Neutrals/Sliders Pop-up Menu checkbox in the preferences window.
For most users and most images, the Clicking Neutral Objects method is far quicker, easier and more accurate.
| Clicking Neutral Objects | • | You color balance with this method by simply clicking on neutral objects in your image. |
| Using Sliders | • | With the slider method, color balance is achieved by moving either two or three sliders. |
Neutral Preferences: By default, EditLab will aim for a neutral with equal red, green and blue values, that is, with a saturation of zero. If you prefer a warmer or cooler neutral, click the Preferences... button in the color balance tool panel. EditLab's color selection window will be displayed, allowing you select your preferred neutral. EditLab will aim for your customized target neutral definition until you define a different one, or until you load custom or previous settings that define a different one.
