Whitebalancing is more than just removing colors.

Right, which is why I put quotes around it the first time I said it.

The math being applied here is not the same math as used in white balancing. On the other hand, white balancing is tricky, involves two parameters that require adjustment, and is often inadvertantly subjective due to what color things look like ON YOUR MONITOR.

Meaning, the end result may look white to you after fiddling with white balancing, and it still has a color cast to it.

Meanwhile, the technique I'm showing here absolutely puts white things out with no color tone at all. You don't have to measure anything or even get involved in the process.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
