Use the white point dropper — step 9 photo from Product Photos on a $20 Setup

Free photography tip: Use the white point dropper (step 9 of 14 from "Product Photos on a $20 Setup").

Open your best shot in Snapseed or Lightroom Mobile. Find the white balance tool. Tap the eyedropper or white-point selector and tap on the poster board background. The app shifts all colors so that area becomes neutral white.

If the background looks blue-white or yellow-white after the auto adjustment, fine-tune the temperature slider until the board matches what your eye sees as clean white. This single correction fixes every color in the image because it anchors the color baseline.
