1. An apparatus for white balance editing, the apparatus comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
obtain an input image having a corrected white balance that is obtained by correcting an original white balance via image signal processing;
obtain, using a first neural network, an intermediate representation of the obtained input image, the intermediate representation having the original white balance that is not corrected by the image signal processing; and
obtain, using a second neural network, a first output image having a first white balance different than the original white balance, based on the obtained intermediate representation.
