In this Photoshop tutorial, you will learn how to white balance a photo with just one click!

The technique shown in this tutorial is perhaps the best and quickest way to color correct a photo in any situation. With just one click, all your colors will magically fall into place. I'll even show you what to do when they don't!

In this tutorial, you will learn to use the Auto Color Correction Algorithms inside of the Curves (and Levels) Adjustment Layer to automate color correction in Photoshop. It is truly an easy fix for white balance in Photoshop.

This essential technique will let Photoshop do all the hard work, and it will figure out automatically what colors to sample from to create an accurate color correction.

Most people show HOW to do something. Jesus, you show HOW and WHY! Not only does that put you in another league among teachers, that makes learning so easy to grasp! Kudos, my friend!

[phgjenn]

Yes, I'm an old Photoshop user who just learned the automated way to do what I've been doing for years! Thank you!

[teentb]

Wow, I just found you... better late then never. You take your time explaining how and why. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!

[chrisbertetta]

Watching on my lunch break of my new job 😅 Thanks for the much need info!

[mentalart-skm]

You are a Photoshop GOD...thank you SO MUCH for this!

[quinn]

Thank you! I was always afraid to tweak the auto settings in Photoshop, thinking I might damage the application...It's great that we can customize things to our advantage with your guidance!

[Ronin]

I already new of these features from other videos, but, as you stated, this one goes in depth and explains what is happening behind the scenes. This provides greater level of understanding. As always, great instruction. Thanks.

[ElGringoCachafaz]

Thanks for the great tip! I had a 650(!) photo project for my wife with nearly all containing color casts. I was doing it one at a time in LR and quickly going out of my mind. I found your video, tried it on a few and this is what I wanted. I wrote an action script and completed the entire project in a few hours. I was still tedious, but it beat my mind-numbing approach.

THANK YOU so very much!!! For years, I have been doing this effectively BUT WRONG, spending perhaps two minutes each on color correcting my images (that's A LOT of cumulative hours wasted for a real estate photographer). Your 9-minute video here will save me countless hours in the future. No words - Just thank you, Sir.

[rgarlinyc]

Wow! I never even *knew* the 'Auto Color Correct Options" existed (I feel such a yutz! 🤪) - I always used the 'old' methods you show.
Thanks Jesús for pointing this out - and as usual, expertly explaining everything. You, sir. are a prince!

[darrenlongshanks]

Your tutorials keep getting better and better - really helpful to not only learn the technique, but also what is happening! Thanks so much.

[courtneybaritone]

Thanks for always taking the time to explain what you're doing, and going through each step slowly enough so that lay people can follow along. I really appreciate your Channel and your friendly manner. Thank you!

[SDWaggener]

Excellent tutorial! Concise and to the point, with a little something extra, THANK YOU! :)

[vinceplatini]

Another GREAT tutorial! Thank you so much for the explanation about the algoritm!

[joycerivera]

Once again, you're the best at teaching Photoshop. Thank you! I didn't know either of these techniques but I'm pretty much a newbie in Photoshop and you have really helped me learn.

[Divchyk]

Most helpful video on colour correction I have found so far! To the point, efficient, easy to follow, explained reasons for this approach - awesome work! Thank you!

[reemrawi]

[josesosar]

[justkailash]

[surfhawaiiwaves]
