Very interesting shot, BTW...love the high rate of motion in the train. | |

Not a promotion of any kind, just didn't want to sound arrogant in the first comment. | |
| Aug 9, 2010 at 17:16 | comment | added | jrista | Yeah, the correct term is probably "color balance" as it works on both axes. I totally agree, though...once you finally see a photo that is properly corrected for white balance, its pretty amazing. | |
| Aug 9, 2010 at 16:41 | comment | added | Karel | The white balance picking tool usually works on the green/purple scale too, that's why it's better. I've used it a lot in tricky lightning situations. The influence of correct white balance is usually underestimated until you see the correct version. | |
