In Lightroom, the default behavior of the white balance tool is to automatically dismiss itself once you have clicked on a neutral target in your . This is pretty annoying as you typically want to click on several locations in order to determine the optimal neutral target. Instead of repeatedly clicking on the white balance tool, the best option is to change the tools preferences so that it doesn’t dismiss itself after you make a selection. To do this, whilst in the Develop module (D), press the ‘w’ key and this will produce the white balance selector tool options in the toolbar (see the below). The default behavior is to have the Auto Dismiss option ticked. Click on the tick box to remove it. Presto! The white balance selector tool will now stay enabled.
