<code>''Keep processing to a minimum and only use sparingly the brightness and contrast adjustments. If your software has auto settings, try to use them for quick results that do not end in hard to understand solutions. Experiment as much as possible with different settings to improve your skills and learn to compensate for your camera's shortcomings''</code> | <code>''Keep processing to a minimum and only use sparingly the brightness and contrast adjustments.

In much less frequent situations, you may need to resort to tone or white balance adjustments. This might be the case when using indoor light cast towards your subject. As the light level is already low and the light source itself has a colour spectrum that is optimal to the human eye, it may look entirely different to your camera. If you cannot increase enough the light levels and you need to make snapshots in this condition, always expect post-processing operations in your image editing software. | In much less frequent situations, you may need to resort to tone or white balance adjustments.

The purpose of tone or white balance adjustments is to simulate a more balanced colour appearance, particularly when having a white element in your scene. When such elements can be spotted, it is expected to have a proper colour balance. Applying an automatic colour balance can generally work very well. If you do not have an automatic white balance feature in your graphics editing suite, you can probably aim for a 5500 Kelvin one, as a good compromise, unless you really want to emphasize warm tones. Try different combinations until you end up with a white element that is neither too yellowish or blueish. | The purpose of tone or white balance adjustments is to simulate a more balanced colour appearance, particularly when having a white element in your scene.

When you do require such operations, it is great to know what you can do in advance, to save time on subsequent activities. All white balance issues can generally be solved, at the slight expense of reduced colour saturation.''</code> | ||
