Color Balance - Canon MG5500 series Online Manual

Color Balance

Adjust images that have a colorcast. "Colorcast" is a phenomenon where a specific color
affects the entire picture due to the weather or ambient strong colors.
Move (Slider) under Color Balance to the left or right to emphasize the corresponding
color.
Cyan & Red
Magenta & Green
Yellow & Blue
These are complementary color pairs (each pair produces a shade of gray when mixed).
You can reproduce the natural colors of the scene by reducing the cast color and increasing
the complementary color.
It is usually difficult to correct the image completely by adjusting only one color pair. It is
recommended that you find a portion in the image where it should be white, and adjust all
three color pairs so that the portion turns white.
You can also enter a value (-127 to 127).
Below is an example of an image in which the "Cyan & Red" pair has been adjusted.
