Adjusting white balance and saturation

ArtistAssistApp allows you to adjust white balance and saturation in a few clicks with lightning speed.

Why is white balance correction important?

Have you ever taken a photo of your painting to post on a website or social media? But regardless of the lighting, instead of white paper, you get a gray background?

White balance and saturation adjustment after taking a photo of your painting is crucial. It is very difficult to achieve a quality image of your painting without white balance correction.

White balance and saturation adjustment in ArtistAssistApp

Open the new tab "White balance", select a photo of your painting, and play around with the "White patch percentile" and "Saturation" sliders to adjust white balance and saturation of the photo. Once satisfied, save the adjusted photo on your device.

The optimal "White Balance Percentile" value is often between 95 and 98. But for particularly dark photos, you may need a lower value, such as 80.

Depending on lighting conditions and camera settings, you can also saturate or desaturate the image to your taste.

Using adjusted images in the Color picker

To determine the colors used in a photo or someone else's painting, you must adjust the white balance first! Select a photo of a painting, adjust the white balance, and press the "Set as reference" button. It will immediately open the adjusted photo in the "Color picker" tab. The adjusted photo will also be saved in the recent photos of the "Photo" tab.
