dce tools has a photoshop plugin that does this in one step, as well. Filter/DCE Tools/Color Cast Correction, settings, enter. Apply as needed.
Adjustable depending on how the actual image looked.

Complex, but well described, Moody! I've never done that before, and this looks like a tool I'll be usign a lot!

Maybe so, but for those who don't want to buy a plug-in, this is a good tutorial on a technique that doesn't cost any money. Good work Mood!

This method certainly yields better results than my previous method of adjusting 'color balance"!
Thanks for this great tutorial!

Very well-done -- love the screen shots.
Personally, I always use the Curves graph with the white point in the lower left and the shadows to the upper-right, so I always get a little confused when I see someone using it in the other (default) configuration. |

Definitely! Not trying to take anything from Moody - just saw the topic and thought I'd suggest a tool that fits in along these lines. Just here to learn like everyone.

I actually use a plug-in by Photowiz called colorwasher, so although I have a plug-in, I found that this tutorial taught me more so that I can tweak and play on my own.

An excellent tutorial, Moodville. PS can be difficult to explain but you've done a wonderful job here.
I have used something close to your technique for awhile now. I too open a threshold layer but then I use a shift-click action to set each of the two points. Then I press "Cancel" on the threshold layer box and the layer disappears; no need to drag it to the trashcan.
Again, nicely done tutorial.

First off, I am not knocking the excellent tutorial, I thought some people might find this helpful.
This works amazingly well for many photographs with color problems.
1. Add curve layer
2. select options
3. check snap neutral tones
4. toggle between top 3 algorithms for desired result
5. adjust clipping
this is a very quick way to get you started. |

| Thank you for such detailed information. I will certainly give it a try. I am not sure I know what a Color Cast is, but will experiment to see what it does with your tutorial instructions. I am a beginner and appreciate this tutorial very much. |

| Isn't it the same as "Automatic curves"? I don't know witch versions of PS have this option, but the result look similar to me. |

| I am using a MAc OS 10.3.6; how do I "delete the adjustment layer by clicking and dragging it to the dustbin in the layers box?" |

this is within PS...the little bitty trashcan in the bottom right corner of the palette boxes.

I was disappointed in the tutorial because it's a carbon copy of Kelby's steps in "The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers."
My main beef is that the Total Ink setting of 128 rarely works because it's almost 60 points less than the mid-saturation point of 360 (it may show 128, but the scale goes to 359). This is an aknowledged error by the author, but it's reproduced blindly here. |

Do I read this right then that we should be using 180 as a figure. Also when you do this the figures show as xxx/xxx% and they are not equal numbers (with my images) which side of the "/" am I trying to match to this magic figure?

moodville, that was an excellent tutorial...I have never tried removing a color cast, now I will be able to do it! I rate it a 3 for clarity and ability to make it understandable to novices.

| Excellent tutorial. I've tried it on a problem photo and it yielded incredible results. Thanks Moodville! |

The tutorial was clearly written, and so easy to follow and reproduce the steps involved. Thank you.
I would also have liked some explanation of what I was doing, so I could extrapolate other possible uses for the tool.
I, too, am now curious about whether the "gray point" is better at 188, and why the book author and moody used the 128 figure instead. What is it?

Am I the only serious PS user who uses levels instead of curves to adjust for color cast? I've always felt that levels gave me just as much as curves and what it missed, I caught up in other adjustment layers such as brightness/contrast...
Am I wrong? |

The method outlined in the tutorial is much more subtle than levels alone can be; it directly hooks you into the curves, where you can after selecting the points make tiny tweaks in the curves themselves for optimum results. You are correct that this procedure can be done to good effect in levels alone, but it's coarser. Most of the time it won't matter.

An excellent beginning tutorial Mood.
Perhaps someone with the time could take it to the next level with setting the curves individually for Red, Green, and Blue? It gives an even more accurate color balance, even if it does take a little longer. If I get the time, I'll try to make a tutorial for it. |
