White balance is super important to taking pictures, but not a lot of photographers use them. The reason photographers use white balancing is to make the colors as accurate as it can be. For example, some pictures might be a little more green, so you’ll add magenta to the picture too cancel the green out. Doing this could make the picture more accurate. White balance could also fix the lighting in your pictures, if they don’t have the best lighting. If your pictures are too warm you should add cooler colors to balance it out. If they are too cold, you should add warmer colors to balance it out. There are a lot of types of white balance settings to use in different types of pictures and lighting.
