Photography with Mixed Lighting

This is proving to be my biggest hurdle. How do you balance Ambient Light with Flash or how do you balance Tungsten light with Flash hence Mixed Lighting Conditions.The colors in the Photographs always have a slight hue which I cannot seem to correct with the White Balance Slider as demonstrated in so many YouTube Videos and courses. The closest I have come is using a Camera Filter in Affinity Photo and selecting the opposite color to the color cast on the Color wheel.

So what is the Answer ?

Well if you listen or follow the instructions given In the YouTube videos You get mixed results depending on RAW file format used and if you are shooting in TIFF or JPEG. In short the claim that you can change the White Balance of the Photograph if you shoot in RAW format is not the full Truth as this is also dependent on the ISO setting used and if you nailed the Exposure when you Took the Photograph.

So in a nutshell it’s all a little hit and miss and experimenting with the editing software you use is the only way you can correct this. Photoshop 2020 claims to have a tool as does Capture One for this issue however I’m either to inept to use it or the claims they make are overstated Surprise Surprise.
if you found the Holy grail please drop me a comment but if you explain your process please provide this in baby steps.
