The white balance adjustment is a perfect addition to the automatic background removal feature.

Why adjust white balance before background removal?

ArtistAssistApp can already automatically remove backgrounds from photos of your paintings. However, if the lighting conditions were not perfect when you photographed your painting, the entire image may appear to have a gray overlay. After removing the grayish background, the painted objects will remain grayish.

Seamlessly integrating white balance correction with background removal

Adjust the white balance and saturation before removing the background to get an almost perfect result.
