Changing gray balance with the “Highlight/Shadow” window
The two color wheels in the Highlight/Shadow window let you change the gray balance of the
lightest (highlight) and darkest (shadow) parts of the image. By dragging the green/red area in
one or both color wheels to a new position, you can neutralize, reduce or increase color cast.
NOTE: If you want to neutralize the mid-tone portions of the image, use the Gr
ay Balance window
instead.
• To neutralize cast, drag the red area to the center of the color wheel.
• To make any given part of the image neutral, double-click on it in the feedback windo
w and
drag the blue cross to the center of the color wheel in the Highlight/Shadow window.
