Why do my photos have an orange or warm color cast?

An orange or warm cast across a shoot usually means one of two things: shooting in tungsten/incandescent lighting, or white balance not set to Auto when shooting.

Tungsten/incandescent lighting

Warm-toned bulbs create an orange cast that the AI neutralizes as best it can, but in rooms dominated by warm light, some cast often remains. On the current shoot, use the White Balance slider in the listing gallery first — these are simple color adjustments and often catch what the base edit can't. If the WB slider doesn't fully resolve it, AI Re-Edit is the next try with a prompt like "correct the white balance, reduce the warm orange cast, make the walls neutral white."

White balance not set to Auto

If your camera was on a fixed WB preset (Cloudy or Shade), it can bake in a cast. Shooting Auto White Balance gives the AI the most accurate color reference.

For future shoots

Shoot Auto White Balance and lead with your mid-exposure bracket — auto WB locks to the first frame, so a mid-exposure gives the most representative reading.
