3. Click Ok.  Now, create a new layer and put it under the color balance layer.  Using a size 100px brush with 0% hardness, make a white dot near the center of your document:

4. As you can see, the color is not white.  Our color balance has replaced the lighter parts of our document with reds and yellows.  Select the smudge tool from your toolbar:
