This was extremely useful, so thank you!

I prefer to edit my photos using Pixelmator Photos, but I found every step in this tutorial could be applied there as well. Some Pixelmator Photos users may not think to check here for such a tutorial, but with just some extra screenshots you could easily adapt this for both.

I actually requested some guides on colour balance (along with when/how to use them with/versus Levels and Curves, and this answered some of my questions :smiley:

Sure, this tutorial definitely works for Pixelmator Photo, too! Once we start working on tutorials for Pixelmator Photo, we can definitely adapt this quite easily. :ok_hand:
