Getting-Started Lightroom

Adjust the White Balance Using Neutral Areas

Click White Balance selector tool icon in the Basic panel. Then, move it to a neutral part of your image, meaning a place where the RGB (red, green, blue) values are very close to each other, to try and find a neutral spot to use as the new target neutral. An excellent place to start with is the whites. You should click on something that should be gray. Neutral means that all three color channels, R, G, B, are equally represented in the images. This can range from 1% to 99% gray. Technically 0% and 100% are neutral in color but there are no image details at those values.

You can use a grey card 18% grey.
