White
Balance
When you take RAW images the settings you select for white balance are
not applied to the image but stored within the image's metadata. When
ACDSee Pro 2 processes the RAW image, this stored setting is applied to the
image by default. You can then make adjustments to this original setting.
Select one of the following white balance correction options:
x Custom: Allows you to specify a specific white balance, either by
adjusting the Temperature and Tint sliders, or by clicking on an area of
the image that is a neutral color (gray).
x Sunny: Adjusts the color temperature to 5500K, approximately that of
the midday sun.
x Cloudy: Adjusts the color temperature to 6500K, approximately that
of a lightly overcast sky.
x Shade: Adjusts the color temperature to 7500K, approximately that of
a heavily overcast sky.
x Tungsten: Adjusts the color temperature to 2850K, approximately
that of a household light bulb.
x Fluorescent: Adjusts the color temperature to 3800K, approximately
that of a fluorescent light bulb.
x Flash: Adjusts the color temperature to 5500K, approximately that of
a camera flash.
x Auto: Adjust the color temperature and tint to settings automatically
determined by analyzing the image.
x As Shot: Selected automatically. Applies the camera's white balance
setting as stored in the camera when the photo was taken.
You can set a custom white balance by clicking on a neutral color
(like gray) in the image.
Auto Click the Auto button to automatically correct the white balance settings for
the selected photo. To see which white balance settings were used, look at
