I didn't know that up to now, but anyway: How does this automatical white balance work? I don't know how exactly this engine ticks, but I can to to guess: it searches for the lightest pixel in the image and makes GIMP believe that it is white and then it shifts other colors appropriately. But that's my guess. Probably gimp-help package contains information you want to know. No the official gimp documentation on the homepage doesn't contain anything about it. You can verify it here: http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch09s07s11.html It doesn't even appear in the screenshot of the menu. Your idea how the automatical white balance works sounds good. IMHO the automatical white balance on a digital camera should work the same way, shouldn't it? Some info on Levels dialog ("Werte" im Deutschen, soweit ich das verstehe) is here: http://docs.gimp.org/de/ch06s05s06.html Yes, that's correct. Thanks! Cheers, Timo
