Free photography tip: Check the product color against reality (step 10 of 14 from "Product Photos on a $20 Setup").
After setting white balance, hold the product next to your screen. Does the blue glaze on the mug look right? Does the candle label match? If it's still off, nudge the temperature or tint slider in small steps.
Sellers get returns when listing photos show a color that doesn't match the real item. Spending 30 seconds on white balance accuracy saves you money and bad reviews.
Pro tip: Shoot a gray card or a sheet of plain white paper in the same light before your session. Use it as your white balance reference for every shot that day.
