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.
