Notes:
While these tools can be a particular divisive topic, I feel as though they can act as a learning tool for new users, also when used in conjunction with additional correction methods they can help speed up the process. Personally I only find myself using the white balance tool, but different workflows for different people and situations for sure.
Now I have left the shot match feature out of this video and while it is an automatic adjustment I felt things were fairly information dense and explaining that feature would require it's own video. Also like the Auto Color feature it doesn't display the changes made which I don't understand why that's the case. It's not like it's making adjustments that can't be made using the controls, maybe there's a technical reason but I have yet to come across it. If anyone knows why I'd really appreciate any insight.
