Thank you all,
I ended up white balancing to the dress. Then slight tuning to warm up
on the white balance module. After that I tweaked further with the color
correction module. I didn't realize that it is possible to take a
snapshot from one image and then compare to a different image. At the
end I think I was able to get close enough.
Yes - I had a few images that were lit by different light sources. I can
see that color correction and color balance all have multiple instances
and masks. It would be nice if white balance can be multi instances too.
For now - I am planning to learn a bit more the color group modules so I
can manipulate such images better.
Thanks again...

Well, trying to white balance concert lighting seems like it might be

pictures that you white balance
using the dress.
Yes, perhaps use spot white balance on the dress, then try to offset
it with the sliders, or use "color correction".
Weird situations like this do come up from time to time, where it
would be nice to be able to
havemultiple instances of the white balance module, even though that
seems silly in theory.
The main reason I can think of that you'd want two white balance
modules with masking is because of mixed light, i.e. different parts
of the image lit by different sources. The main one I come up against
is strong window light mixing with interior lighting (especially bad I
find are halogen downlights which create a really hard, warm, and not
particularly CRI-complete light).
If I white balance for the spots that are illuminating the people in
my shot, I get horrible blue background lit by the window light. If I
white balance for the background then the people are unbearably warm.
IIRC multiple-white-balance is on the todo list, not sure on priority
though.
