Getting rid of red color cast?

My photo has too much orange and red in it.
In CS5, I created a new Color Balance Adjustment Layer.
- I decreased the amount of Red within in the Shadows, Midtones and Highlights.
- It seems like there was a bit too much blue so I decreased the amount Blue in the Shadows, Midtones and Highlights.
1. It now seems like there is too much yellow. How do I get rid of the yellow without adding too much blue? Are there general guidelines for doing this?
2. The steps I used are to color correct the image are:
- fix colors using Color Balance Adjustment Layer
- fix Levels
- Sharpen image
Are there any other basic edits I should consider?
Thank you.

Hello!
First, I would use adjustment layers, so that I can tweak the results, and re-edit after a save (if I chose a file format that allows layers)
If the image has areas that should be grey, I would use the neutral color eyedropper from a curves or levels adjustment layer.
If the image has different lighting conditions in different zones, I would mask those areas, invert the mask, and re-apply another levels-curves from their eyedroppers, to adjust that other area.

  • How do I get rid of greyish color cast?

    My printouts are getting a greyish color cast, please help me to sort this out !?

    no, it's only my prints that have this color cast, the edited as well as the preview is ok, but not the printouts.
    (there is no problem with the same picture printed from Aperture,)

  • Red Color Cast when printing with Canon Pixma Pro 9000

    My printer is giving me a horrible red color cast after the latest software update. The color cast can also be seen in Preview and in the print window. No changes to drivers have been made. Printer worked fine before the update.
    Has anyone else found this problem and offered a solution?

    You may find it helpful.
    Thanks, but if you look in the archives of the Apple ColorSync Users List, you'll find thousands of posts from his Mac dating back to the beginning of the List.
    The principle is that you configure your device colour spaces to the largest gamut of which they are capable, calibrate them to a stable condition, characterise that condition in a measured test chart, and build ICC device profiles for those characterisations in your ICC profiling package of choice.
    You then capture and correct colour with correct colour previews, resulting in normalised exposures in an ideal CIE colour space. With you normalised exposures, you convert into output condition 1, output condition 2, output condition n which is what repurposing is about.
    But you do no apply a gamma change on top of the colour managed rendering. That is incorrect by definition. You apply your gamma change as part of the colour correction in order to get your normalised exposure.
    If you imagine this in a prepress process, then you can forget the concept of determinate rendering which is the bedrock of the ICC architecture. If you as photographer do a gamma correction on top of your presentation print or proof print, then you can claim that you have a presentation print, but you cannot contractually claim that you have a proof print as your proof print is a colour correction on top of the colour management system. If Apple Aperture allows the user access to colour correction on top of colour management, then that is a bug in the application. Sorry ...

  • How to get rid of red eye

    how to get rid of red eye

    The Red Eye tool is in the same palette as the Healing Brush, the Spot Healing Brush, Content Aware Move, and Patch tools. To move to this palette, press J, and click and hold on the selected icon.
    Once you've selected the Red Eye tool, click on the red eye in your photo and Photoshop will fix it.
    One more thought: Have you tried LevelUp for Photoshop? It's a  game of missions and levels, designed to help you learn Photoshop basics; and one of the missions shows you how to fix red eye. You install LevelUp for Photoshop using Adobe Exchange. Go to Window > Extensions > Adobe Exchange, and search for LevelUp.

  • How to get rid of red badge alert in settings,  I do not want to upgrade to ios 8.0.2

    I have a iphone 4s.  I have an annoying red badge alert on my settings to upgrade to 8.0.2.  I do not want the update and I do not have enough space anyway.  How do I get rid of that annoying number 1 alert on my home screen on setting?

    You don't.  You can move the Settings icon to an alternate Home screen, if you'd like.  But until you update, the notification will still be there.

  • How to get rid of red rectangle in gray rectangle cropping box?

    A little box has appeared on the right side of the preview screen. It has a small red rectangle in a larger gray rectangle. You can move around the red rectangle to crop the frame.
    The problem is, I don't want to crop the frame! How do I get rid of the red rectangle thing?
    I've tried the "crop" button and read the documentation about cropping but there's no mention of this red rectangle. I looked at the project settings and it looks good (1920x1080).

    ... You can move around the red rectangle to crop the frame.
    no, you don't crop the video.
    It is just shown, when you set your preview window to a setting which doesn't 'fit'. Then, the red rectangle indicates which part of the whole frame you see; or, drag it to a part you like to see.
    Set your  Preview window to a smaller size (like '50%' or simply 'fit') = no red cross rectangle.
    for cropping, use the cropping tool

  • Defringe doesn't work...how to get rid of red fringe

    After making a selection around a not-too-sharp person, Refine Edge has left me with a nasty red halo that defringe just won't get rid of.
    I really need help! I tried making a selection, contracting at 1 and 2 pixels, inverting and deleting, but it degraded the image too much.
    Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks in advance...

  • Strong red color cast over some images, solved

    Hi,
    This issue was driving me nuts recently, but having just found the solution I thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
    From one day to the next, my Mac (late 2013 MBP retina, Mavericks) suddenly started to display some (not all) images with a red semitransparent overlay.
    This would occur most often in Apple applications like Finder, Preview, Safari, Mail etc.
    In the Finder's icon view with a folder full of images, some thumbnails would have the color overlay, some others wouldn't. When resizing the thumbnails the overlay would flicker on and off on various images randomly.
    Affected images would also print with the same color cast on a color printer.
    The Solution
    After a lot of trial and error I found that the issue was caused by a custom libpng library, installed by Homebrew (http://brew.sh).
    It was probably installed much earlier than this this issue started, maybe the library was updated that day, or something in OSX was updated triggering an incaompatibility leading to this issue.
    I'm not sure why I installed this library in the first place, most likely as a dependency needed by another recipe I since uninstalled. I could uninstall it without issues.
    Caveat: to fully uninstall a recipe, use:
         brew uninstall <recipe> --force
    in my case I did:
         brew uninstall libpng --force
    Otherwise Homebrew will reinstall the library the next time you upgrade your brew installation (which is most likely what happened in my case).
    Hope this helps at least someone.

    Hi, Chan
    Thanks for the explanation of this subject. Anyway ... there are quite a number of possibilities that something is clipped during whole process. First, some channels can be clipped off at the sensor level, than after matrix conversion to RIMM, than if EV slider is used (and even if it isn't, because there is baseline exposure value)  ... or Saturation slider ... then after correction using LUT ... and finally during conversion to sRGB / AdobeRGB / whatever ... maybe some sort of soft clipping at some of these points would be better (just my opinion)
    However, there is another highlight issue I noticed, illustrated with these two samples (Canon 400D, ACR 5.7, windows platform)
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4KEEDQW9
    Left picture has all default settings. On the right picture, everything is the same, except that I made a small patch with adjustment brush tool at the top left corner (far from the center of the picture) and changed exposure value of the adjustment brush to a nonzero value (other adjustment brush sliders don't produce similar strange effect). Appearance of the area of the Sun changes abruptly and looks strange. Test with my HSV image from previous post shows that all colors are affected (not only yellow)
    Also, there is a similar abrupt change in the highlight behavior if I lower the global EV slider from -0.25 to -0.30 (0.25 is baseline exposure value for this camera), or if I raise Recovery slider from 6 to 7 (which seems to have similar effect). I think these two issues are unrelated to clipping in sensor color space vs. RIMM
    Thanks

  • Why did Adobe get rid of 'No Color Management' option in CS5

    I use this option (in earlier CS verisons) when printing digital negatives on transparency film on my Epson 3880. There are a few work-arounds, including a printer utility from Adobe (which only works on tIff files, so it's limitied).
    But why, oh why did they get rid of this option in the first place. Did someone just decide, gee, I don't think that's a feature we want anymore in our program, so, puff, it's gone? I hate it when program 'updates' make my work harder instead of easier.

    Can you prove this with a supporting document?
    Nope...I was told this by engineers familiar with the initiative...
    Was DYP wrote:
    ACPU and for that matter i1Profiler sends print image data (untagged I assume) through ColorSync and the print driver the exact same way as Lightroom and PSCS5 do when Application Manages Color is selected when printing. The only difference is that LR and PS do not allow you to send untagged image data.
    ACPU does send the untagged data through Colorsync, but the image data gets converted by Colorsync or ACPU to the printer profile chosen in the print driver as set up in the Print window of ACPU...so, since the document is in the final profile space of the printer, the print driver does nothing (null transform). Then you choose don't manage color in the driver. Exactly how ACPU works with Colorsync to avoid having Colorsync to an unwanted color transform isn't clear (would have to ask the engineer that wrote it), ACPU is clearly doing SOMETHING different than Photoshop and Lightroom when sending the image data to the printer.
    You can see what profile gets embedded when printing from ACPU by setting up the driver and saving a PDF and opening in Photoshop. When I printed to PDF from ACPU after setting up the driver to use Epson Glossy paper on an Epson R3000, the embedded profile in the PDF was SPR3000 Premium Glossy. Which if sent to the printer should result in a null transform. This is similar to the CS5 work around to tag an image with a color space and have that same color space set in Photoshop Manages Color and set the Printer Profile color space to be the same thus bypassing the Colorsync "generic RGB" transform. However, that work around no longer works with Photoshop CS6 (we were warned that this might happen BTW).
    I haven't tried it yet, but it's possible that you could still work around this in CS6 if you take an untagged target, assign the printer profile, then use Photoshop Manages Color with the profile being the same printer profile and then in the driver set do not color manage...actually, scratch that–I just tried that and CS6 pops a warning that "No Color Managment is not supported" when trying to print without the proper color management and to get ACPU with a link to download it. I guess Photoshop got pretty serious about disallowing this sort of printing. Heck, you can't even print to PDF.
    On the other hand, the simplest solution for me is to simply print out the target using i1Profiler...

  • How to get rid of this unchecked cast warning?

    Vector<Integer> v1 = new Vector<Integer>(); // ok
    Object obj = (Object) v1; // ok
    Vector<Integer> v2 = (Vector<Integer>) obj; //unchecked cast
    It works when I try to cast Vector<Integer> to Object. However, it prompts "unchecked cast warning" when I try to cast the object back to Vector<Integer>. How can I get rid of this warning? Is there something wrong?

    There is nothing wrong (it is just a warning).
    In the new type system, you would later do something like
    Integer n = v2.get(14);Now the compiler cannot check (compile time maybe, run time never) whether obj is of class Vector<Integer> (Only Vector), as at compile time as type parameters are stripped away in java1.5 at run time ("type erasure").
    So later the assignment to n could throw a class cast exception at run time.

  • Can I get rid of the color presets?

    I like to have a few presets that I can just apply to a clip and tweek as needed, but I don't want them down at the bottom of the list. Alien Lab? Are you kidding me? Can I get rid of these or is there another place to save favorites? I'd like to be able to save a few audio effects and transitions.

  • SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, Can't get rid of Red Underlined Text

    So after I lost a major part of my script and am now prepared to  rewrite, now Every Font is in Red with underline. When I try to  backspace, it turns my original font to red as well. This script seems  like it's gonna be huge, judging the many impedents it's facing. I hope  there's an easy solution to this one. I've tried to change it from the text color, but those settings look ok,  black dot on white background. There's something going on that I can't  figure no matter what I'm trying.

    Looks like 'Track changes' is on for this document. Just turn it off from the toolbar [Review -> Start Tracking changes] in the authoring view itself.
    Also the changes that are marked as deleted (crossed), do mouse hover on the text and 'reject change' and for inserted text (red color with underline) do 'accept change'. This is just so that you don't need to type it again and the text would become normal.
    Thanks
