Color balance temperature setting switches

[SJS]

When I use Adjust --> Color Balance and use the temperature slider the cool <---> warm seems to work as expected (i.e. my image becomes more blue to the left, more red to the right).

When I click the Advanced Options box, the slider labels are the same, but the behavior swaps: so the Cool label is still on the left, BUT when side the handle to the left, my image becomes more RED, & if I slide to the right (labeled warm) my image becomes more blue.

Gotta be a bug, surely???

In PSP X3? Come on surely not..

However I tried it and get the expected results, not the reversal like you have.

Keep in mind that, on the Color Balance dialog, the Temperature adjustment moves to the bottom portion of the dialog box when you click the Advanced Options checkbox. The sliders on the top portion are for correcting white balance, when you know what the values for Temperature and Tint "should" be for the particular picture being edited. This is not explained very well in the X3 help for this dialog.

OK, thank you, I think that is exactly what confused me: I was looking at the White Balance slider.

Perhaps if the title/description "Enhance Color Balance" was always next to the slider rather than only after the Advanced Option box is checked this would be less confusing to my limited 5 +/- 2 brain! A little of that ergo-what-ics?

> the titles: "Enhance Color Balance" (and "White Balance" for the "advanced" Temperature slider) are only used after the box is expanded with advanced options. So I focused on the first occurrence of the word Temperature ... and of course both items use a Temperature slider.

Now if I can only remember that next time I use this feature !
