Adjusting color cast for the whole image automatically
1 • Open the Gray Balance window.
2 • EITHER: click on Neutralize.
OR: set the Guide menu to 100% and observe the effect in the feedback window.
3 • If the image is not the way you want it, click on Reset, set the Guide menu to a higher or

Adjusting color cast for the whole image manually
1 • In the feedback window, double-click on a part of the image that should be white or neutral
gray.
2 • For graphic feedback, open the Gray Balance window and check the location of the small
white circle in the color wheel. If the color you clicked on is neutral, the white circle will be
in the middle of the color wheel.
3 • To neutralize the image, click on Neutralize.
If the color is, in fact, neutral, the Densitometer will show a value of 0
for C (= chroma or saturation) in the LCH fields.
You can also adjust the gray balance to a different, non-neutral setting
by clicking on the desired area of the lightness scale and then clicking
on the desired position on the color wheel.
