Which adjustment would automatically correct color cast without manual edits?

• A. Desaturate
• B. Curves
• C. Levels
• D. Auto Color

Answer: (D)

Auto Color automatically fixes color cast by balancing the color channels across the image. It analyzes the photo and adjusts the red, green, and blue channels so neutral areas read as gray, removing the unwanted tint without any manual tweaks. This makes it ideal for quick, automatic correction. Desaturate would strip color entirely, not fix the tint. Curves and Levels let you shape color and tonal adjustments manually, which requires user input and won’t automatically correct the cast. Auto Color provides the automatic correction in one step.
