Editing Toolbox: Setting White Balance with One Click in Lightroom

Setting correct white balance is one of those editing sticking points that I see so many pet photographers - well - stuck on! As pet photographers, we deal with lots of different coloured subjects, so we need as many tools as we can to help us set white balance.

There's plenty more ideas to try and tools you can use to help you set white balance while you're still developing your eye for it, or on a particularly tricky edit.
