Tks. What is your best and quick method to obtain natural colors (fix the wb)

I don't understand the blend ranges in the first image. The source layer is the blur layer. That doesn't have any highlights or shadows, does it? Only an alpha channel which is white. The highlights and shadows are in the layers below it.. So how does this work?
