How to Set White Balance for Infrared Images in ON1 Photo RAW
Welcome to Photo Blue! I'm Dean, and in today's video, I'm going to show you how to handle white balance for infrared images using ON1 Photo RAW. Infrared photography can be tricky when it comes to white balance, as the camera and editing software often struggle to interpret the colors correctly. Whether you've set the white balance in-camera or need to adjust it during editing, I'll guide you through the process to achieve the best results.
In this tutorial, I'll first demonstrate how to adjust the white balance in ON1 Photo RAW if you didn't set it in the camera. You'll learn how to use the Tone & Color tool, toggle the Kelvin (K) setting, and use the eyedropper tool to find a neutral gray or white point, such as clouds or pavement, to correct the white balance.
Next, I'll show you an example where the white balance was set in-camera. I'll explain how setting a custom white balance using a gray card or neutral surface can give you more consistent results and make the editing process smoother. You'll see how simply toggling the Kelvin setting can instantly correct the image when the white balance is preset.
This video is perfect for anyone looking to refine their infrared photography workflow and achieve accurate colors during post-processing.
