INTRODUCTION This is easy. You can do this to any image you can open in Photoshop, digital or film. Any and every version of Photoshop can do this. Elements may have a very slightly different way to get to the adjustment. I'm talking about all versions of Photoshop including versions 4, 5, 6, 7, CS, CS2 and maybe before. You also can do this in almost every other image editor, including free ones like iPhoto. See here for these cheap or free software options. I'll cover how to do this with Photoshop. The other programs are similar. See also my page on how to set White Balance while shooting. I also have a page loaded with Photoshop hints and tricks including correcting color casts. HOW - TO In Photoshop on the Mac, just hit Command (the Apple key) B. The hard way is to go to IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > COLOR BALANCE. You'll see a box with three sliders. To change color temperature simply move the Cyan/Red slider one way and the Yellow/Blue slider an equal amount the other way. Just do it until it looks good. To change Green/Magenta bias with fluorescent and metal-halide lighting simply move the Green/Magenta slider until it looks right. EASY! Save your image as you please and you're done. |
