METHOD OF ADJUSTING WHITE BALANCE OF IMAGE, RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD, AND APPARATUS APPLYING THE METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting white balance, the method comprising:
- generating a display image by performing display image signal processing to an input image;
specifying an area of the display image;
outputting at least two sample images by applying at least two types of correction gains to the area of the display image; and
applying the correction gain that is applied to one of the at least two sample images to the input image.

Abstract
A white balance adjusting apparatus and method generate a display image by performing display image signal processing to an input image, specify an area of the display image, output at least two sample images by applying at least two types of correction gains to the area of the display image, and apply the correction gain that is applied to one of the at least two sample images to the input image. Accordingly, a white subject does not have to be searched for to adjust white balance, and an image having a color sensitivity desired by the user can be obtained by performing white balance on colors other than white.
