Setting White Balance Options | Top Previous Next Learn more at BibbleLabs.com

The White Balance tool provides controls to adjust the brightness and tint of the image based on specified lighting conditions. For more information about white balance and color temperature, see the Understanding Advanced Image Editing Tools topic.

To set the white balance options:

1. | From the Tools menu, click Advanced.

2. | In the drop-down menu, click White Balance.

3. | To adjust the white balance of the image, click the New WB check box.

4. | Open the New WB drop-down menu and select a pre-defined lighting condition parameter from the list.

Note: When you select a pre-defined white balance setting, Bibble shows the corresponding Kelvin color temperature and tint values.

1. | To set a custom white balance by clicking an area of the image, open the New WB drop-down menu and click Click White.

2. | Place the cursor over the section of the image that you want to set as the white balance focal point for the image.

3. | Click the image area once to adjust the brightness for the entire image.

4. | To adjust the color temperature of the image, open the New WB drop-down menu and click Custom Kelvin.

5. | Drag the Temperature slider to the left to apply cooler color tones to the image and to the right to apply warmer tones to the image.

6. | To adjust the color tint, drag the Tint slider to increase or decrease the tint levels.

Note: If you edited the Click White levels using Bibble 4.0, the color balance levels will appear to be incorrect if you open the image in Bibble 4.1 or later. This inconsistency is due to an internal programming change in later versions of Bibble. To correct this problem, open the image in Bibble 4.1 or later and resample the Click White setting.

If you are using custom white-balance settings, you can make incremental adjustments to the temperature and tint values without opening the White Balance tool. For more information about White Balance settings, see the Understanding Advanced Image Editing Tools help topic.
