The colors are unappealing |
When a certain color predominates in an image, it constitutes a color cast. When an image has a color cast and the overall effect is unappealing, you can adjust the color balance. With Photoshop, this can be easily done in the Variations Window. Open this Window by selecting Adjust from the Image menu and clicking on "Variations." Thumbnails of the altered image will appear on the display, and you can readily select the most appealing one from among them. |
|
Click on Shadows, Midtones, Highlights, or Saturation to determine which area to correct. |
To correct the bright areas, select Highlights; to correct the dark areas, select Shadows; and to correct the overall image, select Midtones. To change the brilliance of the image, select Saturation. |
