Fix Mixed Window and Tungsten Light
Correct a photo lit by daylight in the window and tungsten in the room, without painting the person grey. PHOTO What reads wrong: [FACE TOO ORANGE | WINDOW TOO BLUE | BOTH] Subject: [PERSON | INTERIOR | PRODUCT] Skin or product color that must stay believable: [NOTES] PLAN 1) Pick the priority: the face, or the window view. Say you cannot make both neutral without a mask, and choose based on my priority. 2) Two adjustments: a global balance for the priority, then a masked correction for the other light. Soft mask edges. Brush off the correction where the lights genuinely mix on a surface. 3) Numbers as a starting white balance, marked as starting points. 4) The failure: skin that went grey, a window that went teal, a wall with a halo at the mask. How to see it (a temporary saturation boost). 5) When to reshoot: if the two lights are equal on the face. Do not "fix" a deliberate practical lamp that is supposed to be warm.
