Color Temperature & Tint

🌡️ What is Color Temperature?

🔥 Temperature

  • Changes the overall warmth or coolness of a photo.

    • Warm = Yellow/orange tones (great for sunset or cozy photos)

    • Cool = Blue tones (ideal for snow, beach, or modern looks)

🎨 Tint

  • Adjusts the photo along the green ↔ magenta spectrum.

    • Helpful for fixing weird lighting (e.g., hospital lights → green, fix with magenta)
