Multiple choice

What are the three main types of color correction?

  1. Primary, secondary, and tertiary color correction.

  2. Hue, saturation, and lightness color correction.

  3. White balance, exposure, and contrast color correction.

  4. Temperature, tint, and tone color correction.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The three main types of color correction are white balance, exposure, and contrast color correction. White balance adjusts the overall color temperature of an image, exposure adjusts the brightness of an image, and contrast adjusts the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.

Multiple choice

What is white balance and how does it affect color correction?

  1. White balance is the process of adjusting the color temperature of an image to match the lighting conditions under which it was taken.

  2. White balance is the process of adjusting the overall brightness of an image.

  3. White balance is the process of adjusting the contrast between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.

  4. White balance is the process of adjusting the hue, saturation, and lightness of an image.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

White balance is the process of adjusting the color temperature of an image to match the lighting conditions under which it was taken. This is important because different lighting conditions can cause the colors in an image to appear too warm or too cool.

Multiple choice

What are some common color correction techniques used in photography?
