Frequently Asked Questions
How does color temperature affect viewer emotions?
Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) evoke feelings of comfort, energy, and intimacy, while cool colors (blues, greens, purples) create calm, professional, or spacious feelings.
What's the ideal temperature balance for most images?
This depends on your creative intent, but many successful compositions use a dominant temperature with contrasting accents to create visual interest and guide attention.
Can this help with white balance correction?
Yes, the heatmap can reveal areas where white balance is inconsistent, helping you identify and correct color temperature issues in photography.
How accurate is the Kelvin temperature mapping?
The mapping is based on standard color temperature scales used in photography and lighting, providing accurate representations of perceived warmth and coolness.
