This is probably one of your best videos for improving your photos consistently! People are missing out as it's not one of your top viewed ones! Alot of people seem to have problems with composition I see online and don't talk as much about balance with in colour's in landscape photography. This has been the longest thing for me to get right and still don't! Hopefully now with this new information I will get over that hurdle! Thanks so much 🙏

From what I understand (and have experienced) whether in Lightroom or any other image editor, using white balance for artistic purposes is risky. Not that you recommended it, but your IG question revealed apparently many folks do use it that way. IMO white balance should be adjusted to provide a color-temperature-appropriate base from which to start. In other words, a level playing field. Once done, other tools can be used for artistic purposes. In my experience, there are too many unintended side effects when using white balance as a creative tool. It's global and will affect colors often far away from what's intended. Great video!

Nigel, thanks for this eye-opener. I always struggle with the greens and greenish colors. The theory of occurence dependency in sunlights and shadows was clear to me but the use of right (!) processing steps in the tool was very helpfull to manage in future. Also thanks for the hint and link to the color page at Adobe.
