Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method of automatically color balancing an image. The method receives a selection of a user interface (UI) item to automatically color balance the image using a color balance tool that includes several color balance modes. In response to the selection, the method analyzes the image based on a set of criteria. Based on the analysis, the method automatically selects a color balance mode from the several color balance modes of the color balance tool. Upon selecting the color balance mode, the method uses the color balance mode to automatically apply a set of color balance operations to the image.
