Some Cool Tips For The White Balance Eyedropper Tool

This video not only features a few cool tips for using the White Balance Selector (the eyedropper), but you get to experience an awkward moment of silence (you’ll see why, and we’ll have a moment of shared pain). Plus, this will be a good test to see if you can “bare the pear.” Or is it “Bear the pear?” Or “Bare the Pair?” Just watch the video. 😉

Hope you find it helpful.

    I always use the loop…
    Look at the numbers below. You will see for example
    R65.7 G25.9 B77.1

    If you find a spot where the number are almost identical..
    R65.7 G65.9 B65.7

    that’s the spot to pick

    Try it

    Wish there was a way to change the target from neutral grey to pre-picked color/hue. Imagine for example “I want this photo to match the specific skin tone from the other one in different light, but with the same person/skin tone” scenario.

      Go watch the other series on PS tips we didn’t know. Scott just showed something similar that you might find useful

    Like Paul C., I’ve been using the dropper since LR 1.0 and never ever knew I could get rid of the Loupe and auto dismiss! Great tip!

    Ok, so I’ve been using the dropper for 7 years and NEVER noticed (or thought about) these cool extras. Many thanks, Scott, it will save me a ton of time. Greetings from the UK (with our Union FLAG…. well done)!
