White balance

[ashmavay]

Hi Damian. Do you have any tutorials for fixing white balance in photoshop elements? I don't use a grey card and shoot outdoors. I've been watching tutorials for photoshop where you do a fill layer at 50% grey, change blending mode to difference and then threshold layer. I can't set a black point and I don't have curves on elements so can't do it this way.  Is there another way of achieving white balance besides using the white balance picker in RAW and doing further adjustments such as filters, hue/saturation layers etc?  Elements is frustrating me! lol. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Those tutorials are complete baloney, ignore them.

That's right.  Grey cards are useless.

Only use a white balance sheet.

Please don't say that.  Elements is amazingly powerful. Please let me teach you how amazingly powerful it is.
