Multiple choice

What is the relationship between color temperature and white balance?

  1. Color temperature determines the overall warmth or coolness of the light source, while white balance adjusts the color cast to achieve neutrality.

  2. Color temperature and white balance are independent factors that do not affect each other.

  3. Color temperature is a measure of the intensity of the light source, while white balance controls the color saturation.

  4. Color temperature and white balance are synonymous terms and refer to the same concept.
