What can I do if I shoot a digital picture on the wrong white balance setting?

Mark Comon (Vice President, Paul's Photo, Torrance, CA) gives expert video advice on: What is "white balance", and how does it affect my digital camera's picture?; What can I do if I shoot a digital picture on the wrong white balance setting?; How do I adjust my digital camera's white balance? and more...

Well, my real answer to you is make sure you've got it set right, because you're in a world of hurt if you're not. So the basic rule is start with auto white balance, and if you're not happy with the picture, then adjust. You can try tungsten white balance for shooting indoors under tungsten light, or fluorescent white balance for shooting indoors under fluorescent light. Make sure, though, that you always check your white balance when you set manually, to make sure you're onto the right setting. If you make a mistake, you can, in Photoshop, adjust; but I'll tell you, I have a hard time adjusting to get the color looking right. So, bottom line, shoot auto unless you're comfortable manually setting the white balance.
