To use the <strong>Exposure/White Balance Tool</strong>, select the tool icon in the active (highlighted) viewport; this will change the cursor to match the tool icon and temporarily change its behavior to that of a marque tool. Click and drag to use the tool to select an area of the <a href="/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/viewport/start" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:viewport:start">Viewport</a>. When the cursor is released, Daz Studio uses the pixels within the selection marque to calculate and adjust the properties that correspond with the option selected in Tool Mode.
