Adjust white balance in Photos on Mac
If there’s an area in a photo or video that should be white or grey but has a colour cast, you can balance the photo’s overall colour. Sometimes colour casts are caused by lighting conditions — for example, a photo may have a yellow or orange cast from the light fixtures in the location where the photo or video was taken. By changing the white balance, you can remove the colour cast and make white areas appear more white.
To apply white balance edits to multiple photos at once, you can copy and paste edits.
