RSA Gray Balance is designed <strong>to</strong> handle color casts ranging from slight <strong>to</strong> extreme. It<br />

comes in two flavors: Standard and Fine. The Standard setting works well on most<br />

types of images. RSA Gray Balance Fine takes a longer time <strong>to</strong> process and produces a<br />

more accurate gray balance (though not necessarily a 'better' image) than the standard<br />

RSA Gray Balance. For those situations where you find the Standard Gray Balance correction<br />

is lacking, use the Fine Gray Balance. RSA Gray Balance Fine first executes the<br />

RSA Gray Balance Standard algorithm, and returns that result on a layer, then it makes<br />

a second, more detailed pass on the corrected image and returns a second correction<br />

layer for fine-tuning.<br />

The intelligence built in<strong>to</strong> RSA Gray Balance makes it ideal for batch processing, because<br />

the degree of correction is calculated for each image. Images with little or no cast<br />

receive a very gentle correction, while a stronger correction will be applied <strong>to</strong> those images<br />

with heavier casts.<br />

RSA Gray Balance Fine: layers<br />

For unattended batch operation, RSA Gray Balance Fine is the best choice if you're willing<br />

<strong>to</strong> save the images with the layers intact, since it incorporates RSA Gray Balance<br />

Standard. For those images where RSA Gray Balance Fine produces <strong>to</strong>o strong a correction,<br />

you can reduce the opacity of the RSA Gray Balance Fine layer, or even delete<br />

it entirely, once the batch has executed. If you need <strong>to</strong> save flattened files, we recommend<br />

that you use RSA Gray Balance Standard instead, and as with all batch corrections<br />

that produce flattened files, we recommend that you don't overwrite the original<br />

images.
