White balance is a huge factor of whether or not our images look "real.” Anything with color in it (yes, that includes humans) is affected by your white balance and things can look very weird without the right color hues.
That being said, there are many different tools that photographers and videographers use to get their white balance (WB) perfect. Whether it is in camera or in post processing, we’ll walk you through several different routes of getting it right.
When it comes to on-site color correcting, you can use something as cheap as white paper or a gray card. If you are looking for something that is more accurate and a little more mistake proof, but with higher cost, Forest also talks about color checker cards.
To make life easy, cameras have the ability to create a custom white balance based on your lighting scenario. Using a gray card, or any neutral target, you can make your camera correct for any type of lighting. Our cameras are so smart, but we have to know how to set them in order to maximize their features.
If none of those options seem like something you would want to do during your photo session or if you simply just forget to correct your white balance, Forest also talks about correcting your white balance after the fact in Lightroom.
You have to be shooting in raw to be able to correct your white balance in post. That being said, correcting WB in post is a pretty simple process!
Forest also goes through his step-by-step Lightroom process on correcting his white balance in multiple photos at once, creating a consistent group of white-balanced photos.
We hope you find this video helpful for getting your colors correct using White Balance!
