§ 12.3 - Black Balance

To perform a black balance, click on the color you want to be black in the version, and press b. Be aware that the color sample is taken from the version and so successive black balance operations will cascade their effects. To return to the original image colors before black balancing, press [ R ] in the black balance operator panel prior to pressing b.

Black balance allows you to select the black reference for an image. Note that when the color being balanced is not a perfect shade of grey, this does affect the tint of a version's colors, something that becomes more and more pronounced as you get closer to black.
