Now that we've looked at a bunch of tools
for adjusting color casts and resolve,

here are some recommendations
and things that I guess

the very first thing that I reach for
is my temperature and tint.

The reason for that is just
it's a lot faster and is a lot easier.

And if we can get where we need to go with
just these controls,

I feel like there's no reason
not to reach for them.

So what I'll often do

is find something that's white
and do exactly what we were talking about

and adjust the temperature with my right
wheel on my surface in offset mode.

Again, this is the exact same thing
as grabbing this

little number here
and moving it left and right.

And often that's that's

really all that is
needed to balance something sufficiently.

Sometimes the darkest parts of the image
won't feel balanced,

but for the most part,
it works really well.

That said, if you have an extreme
white balance issue,

it's probably going to take a combination
of all of these tools as well

as some adjustments in secondaries, which
we're going to get into in later lessons.

Adjusting
color casts is really where the surface is

very nice to have because you can make
the most subtle adjustment just by moving

this trackball that is really difficult
to do using a mouse.

Not to mention that you can do something
like make your left cool

while at the same time

pushing your gain warm and you can get
some really interesting results that way.

The other thing you can do that is pretty,
pretty detailed is you can use an effect

called chromatic adaptation,
which if you go to your effects

under color, we have chromatic adaptation

and you can drop this onto any node
and here you can set your color

temperature that you shot at and whatever
color temperature you want it to be at.

So if we shot at 5600 Kelvin,

maybe we want this shoot
at a cooler color temperature.

We can take the color temperature
down in our scene

and resolve will do its very best job of
guessing what

that would look like
if we shot this at a different Kelvin.

It also takes advantage of your working
color space,

which if you have this set in your project
settings will be automatically just fine

and you can make some good adjustments
this way.

It's a little bit more work
to kind of throw this effect onto a node,

and I have yet to kind of decide if
this actually looks a lot better or not,

but something to try.

That said, my first go to is the temperature and tint in the primaries wheels.
