- Understanding REDlogFilm and REDgamma
- Intro to Grading with REDCINE-X PRO
NOTE: Color and Gamma Space settings for R3D files are set in-camera and captured in the R3D metadata. When an R3D is opened in REDCINE-X PRO, the Color and Gamma Space settings reflect the in-camera setting.

White Balance Adjustments
White Balance is the process of adjusting how color is rendered in an image so that objects that appear white in person also appear white in the image. You can set the Kelvin slider number to the color temperature of the scene. The slider graphic indicates how the image looks at that Kelvin value.
For more information, see the Using White Balance to Control Color Casts article.
White Balance allows you to adjust the following image characteristics:
