crude_white_balancing.m

I have a crude white balancing program that works simply by linearly scaling each color channel independently. Photoshop probably does something more sophisticated but for what it's worth, I've attached it.

After playing around with Photoshop, it looks like you define a black point and a white point and it will set those to 0 and 255 respectively for each color channel. Then when you set the gray point, it uses a standard gamma curve formula to adjust the gray levels for each color channel such that the pixel you defined as gray will have red = green = blue = gray level on the line between the black point and white point. It should not be too hard to program that up in MATLAB. Give it a shot.

By the way, if anyone wants code to launch Photoshop from MATLAB, see the attached m-file, below in blue.

Maybe it is better to ask your question in a Photoshop related forum. Anyway I don't think Photoshop will tell you the exact algorithm that they use, but I found some sites that explain what it does, for example this one: http://www.scantips.com/lights/flashbasics1f.html
