The basic is where a lot of or initial editing will happen. Here we have control over White balance, Tone and Presence.
White Balance
Shooting with your white balance set correctly give you a huge advantage when it come to editing your images, however it is worth remembering that what balance is applied to to your image in camera after it has bee captured. This means we retain the ability to adjust an images whit balance after it has be taken in Lightroom.
The purpose of adjusting the white balance of an image is to compensate for undesirable colour cast that can appear in an image due to the light source.
