PSE "Remove Color Cast" vs. CS3

I am transitioning from a PSE user to a CS3 user and loving it. I have even happily been able to use the PSE organizer so far with both.
However there is one tool in PSE I cannot find in CS3. I have searched and saw there are a few places where CS3 has some simmilar settings, but nothing that seems to be as easy to use or gives the same results.
Is there a plug-in somehwere that provides this in CS3? For those times when I just want to do a quick color correction, I love that tool in PSE. I tried the detailed methodology of using curves/levels, click this, etc...etc... and although it does eventually get there, results are for sure different and it is more involved. Again, don't mind this if I am spending hours in CS3 working on a bunch of shots from a shoot, but if I just want to color-correct a batch of shots, is there a better way?
Of course I am speaking here of when I am shooting JPEG not RAW.
Thanks,

The tool I am looking for is in PSE where you can click on a white or black section of the picture and it will auto-color correct for that.
Yes I have tried auto color adjustment, however with the cast color correction, you can click on different areas of the picture that are white/near/white, etc. or back/near black until you can get a nice color mix.
And thanks, certainly once you get the correct color layer adjustment and action or drag and drop would work.
I was just wondering if there was something similar. Certainaly CS3 has tons more control and options for getting to the same place. That tool was just nice when you wanted to do a quickie fix and nothing more.

Pse 3 remove color cast

Obtained elements 3 bundled with epson v700 .Remove color cast,color variations,adjust smart fix are disabled.Am i able to enable these??
or were they permanantly removed.Happy with pse 3,does what i want so no real reason to upgrade at present,only want to use color cast option,maybe
the other 2 at a latter date.
thanks

Thanks to Joe & Juergen. Juergen your tip did not help in this case,however Joe yours did,and i am now able to access the bottons that were inaccesible. But in doing so,it has not helped my overall problem,which is the overall strong redish cast,especially in some of my Gevaert & kodachrome slides.Maybe i'll have to trial pse 7 and see
if it will help.Or just keep on reprinting my b&w negs!!Prehaps there
is someone who can point me in the direction of a freebie download/
plugin that could help.
Many thanks for the assistance.-- john.

Removing Color Cast with TIFF images? (PSE 8)

Hello,
Hoping someone can help. I'm trying to "remove color cast" with TIFF images and I'm not seeing the option as available. It works fine when I try to use it with JPEG images.
To be clear....I'm using PSE 8...after opening a picture (of course), on the top menu "Enhance", then "Adjust Color". When I'm working with a TIFF image the option "Remove Color Cast" is not available/active. It works fine with JPEG images.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Rich

Alternatively if you want to keep the file at 16 bit click File >>Open As >>Camera Raw
Then use the temperature and tint sliders to edit your tiff.

Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting - levels like Photoshop Elements?

Does Touch have "remove color cast" and adjust lighting -> levels like Photoshop Elements?

There isn't a "remove color cast" command per se but there are Levels and Curves adjustments so you can effectively remove/diminish colors yourself.

Removing color casts, and correcting colors to match reference materials? any guides/tutorial/videos

I have been looking for tutorials showing how to use SpeedGrade. I am now comfortable with the UI enough to use it after watching these: http://www.youtube.com/user/AdobeTV/videos?query=speedgrade
I am looking for tutorials that show how to do a couple things, first I would like to be able to remove any color casts. In photoshop to do this you can use a curves layer and use the set white point color picker and click somplace that is supposed to be white. and in premier you could do something similar using the Fast Color Corrector. So basically I am looking for a way to target an area in a frame that should be grays, In Anime, the eyes generally will always be shades of gray, so that is what I would target usually when working with anime in photoshop/premiere. If anyone knows of a tutorial that shows how to do this type of color cast removal color correction in SpeedGrade could you please share a link.
Some of the older 80's and 90's anime on film, the film has aged and that is where the color cast came from. There is also a loss of color information across the board. For instance in the below picture. The sky is supposed to be more blue instead of teal/sea green.
Another thing is back in the 80s and 90s a lot of Anime worked from limited color palletes; something like maybe 16 colors total, so a lot of colors are used repeatedly. So even with only a limited amount of reference material I should be able to get the corrections close. (I dont have reference clips for every single episode, only a handful of scenes from a handful of episodes.)
I have some reference material showing approximately what the colors should be. So my next question is if anyone knows of any tutorials/guides/videos showing how to use SpeedGrade to color correct a clip so that the colors match up with the colors used in a reference clip
I was also wondering about auto correction based on a reference clip, although I am guessing this is still not possible.
When I watched the websiminar: http://seminars.adobeconnect.com/_a227210/p738pxm9zs0/ at about 43 minutes into it, a feature is shown that automatically adjust the color using a clip that contains a colorchart.
I was wondering if a tool like that could analyse a clip start to finish, to create a pallete of used colors, and then compare that to the colors used in another clip and correct them. (a feature like this would probably be more useful/accurate in anime than it would liveaction but who knows.)
Another UI related question:
I did have one question, the only place I see to access the colorwheels is in the looks tab, my video I am working on, just manages to fit at 100% in the monitor.
So I would prefer to hide or collapse the different looks(maybe even with a hotkey) so that I can access the color tools that it is covering, I attached a picture of what I am talking about. I know pressing "P" hides everything at the bottom, and figured maybe there is already a way to hide/minimize/collapse the look presets to access the tools behind them without shrinking down the size of the monitor preview.

There is a special grading filter called "Color match" which can assist in cross-referencing the black/white/gray levels from one playhead to another but it's not documented yet. The suggested way to set black/white/gray points in Sg is to adjust it visually, using the waveforms as a guide, but there's no chance of doing that for something as small as a character's eye. There's no "eyedropper" picker on the primary grading panel because Sg isn't a correcting tool, but a cinematic grading tool. 99% of the time the end result of an Sg grading session is a long way from what the camera pixels actually recorded.
If all you are doing is reversing a color cast then Speedgrade isn't the right tool to use - you should be working in Premiere Pro (with the Fast or 3-Way Color Correctors). If you're a Photoshop person the UI is much more recognizable, it'll handle all the native footage you can throw at it, and you get your B-G-W eyedroppers.
In Speedgrade CS6 you cannot hide the Presets panel in the Look or Mask tab. The UI is really designed for use in a two-monitor system (which all professional colorists will have), and/or with a hardware controller (which means you can keep the entire bottom panel hidden).

How can I escape from crop? Gets stuck on crop. Thus cannot do adjust color /remove color cast. Photoshop Elements 10 on PC.

I try everything. Shut down Photoshop Elements 10. Shut down PC. Re-boot PC. Try a different jpg. Open it with PSE 10. It still is stuck on Crop tool, and won't allow me to Adjust color.
Help !

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Have you tried resetting the tools?
Click on the small down triangle at the top left of the tools and select Reset all tools
Once you are in the crop tool, you are clicking on the accept tick or the cancel symbol aren't you?

Feature request: adjustable color cast removal

I've been sorting through some underwater photos I took while snorkeling, and the "Auto Levels - Separate" tool does a wonderful job of removing the aquamarine color cast. Unfortunately, it works a bit too well. It would be nice to have a slider that allows for variable removal of color casts, such as the one SilverFast provides for scanning.
Cheers,
Andreas

David,
I haven't used Silverfast, but the "Color" tool is
superb. Use the hue or sat sliders along with the
range setting (at bottom of the tool) to really tweak
out just the color you want. I think you'll be
delighted!
Thanks for your suggestion. I've gotten pretty good using the hue/sat sliders to tweak colors, particularly for adding some punch to washed-out skies.
You can think of the tool I'm requesting as a slider that lets you adjust between no adjustment and hitting "Auto Levels—Separate", e.g., pushing that button 1/4 or 1/2 the way down. You can accomplish the same thing by monkeying with levels for each channel or using the color tool as you describe, but a simple slider for removing color casts seems more straightforward.
Cheers,
Andreas

IMac CS3 Photoshop Magenta/Cyan Color Cast w/Epson - Help!

I've been reading past posts and other websites on this problem and cannot seem to resolve it. I have an Epson 2200 and have been working in CS3 for at least a year with great results. Suddenly, my prints are whacked out with color cast. I reinstalled CS3, I re-set profile to sRGB space & "no color management" in the Epson settings. I've tried Adobe manage color & Printer manages color. I'm still not able to print my work. Any other suggestions before I pull my hair out?
Thank you!

Try doing all you did and reinstalling your printer drivers first remove the printer from the printer list then check to see if there are any cache files and preferences associated with the printer and trash those as well.
See if this gets you back to where you were.
BTW did you install any software lately or updated any of the applications you have on your system?

Color cast removal

I am scanning old family photos. I prefer not to do any post-processing in the scanning software, but I really like how SilverFast AI has an "Auto Color Cast Removal" function.
Is there any way I can match this setting with a preset in Lightroom?
Here's the one that's been auto color corrected:

Removing an orangish/red color cast?

I have a .jpg that was shot outside in the shade of a subject wearing orange surrounded by pumpkins and the whole image seems to have an orangish/red cast to it. I played with Levels a bit, though that did not remove the cast. I am not good with Curves. What are some other ways I can remove the cast?
Thanks.

Color Balance and Hue/Saturation adjustment layers. Color balance is just three sliders (cyan/red, magenta/green, and yellow/blue). It doesn't give you the control of curves, but you get the simplicity of sliders. Use those to balance out a decent looking color, then if needed you can tone down any extra orange/red by doing a hue/saturation layer, select "red" and expand the range on the bottom to include some orange, and move the saturation down a little bit. If you move the saturation down all the way you can see what tones your affecting, then move it up to where you like.
Edit: I didn't read your post very well on my first pass; just noticed the comment about wearing orange and surrounded by pumpkins. Heh. I would do the above in reverse, start with a hue/sat layer and pull down orange a bit so the whole image doesn't scream orange. Then go into your color balance and cool it a bit more. If you want to really give a go at editing, you can mask off some of the orange so you cool down everything else besides the orange. Blue and orange are complimentary colors, they should go well together.
Also, when I have images that are too dominant in one color I usually find that a general desaturation of the entire image helps. Not a ton, just to take the edge off. Besides, the cool desaturated look screams Autumn, IMHO.

How to remove cool/Blue color cast in pictures

I had incurrect setting when taking some pictures, which turned the pictures blue. Is there a way to correct this in Elements 9?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

The 'color cast' correction I mentionned above is really the simplest, 'one click' tool in Elements, but there are other ways.
My favourite one is to open the photo (even jpegs) in ACR. Then you have the same interface than with raw file, and the temperature and tint sliders.
The advantage is that once you have corrected one picture (also a one click sampling of neutral white/gray), the settings can be used for the next picture. You can correct a batch of images rapidly.
Edit:
To open a jpeg in ACR, use 'Open As' instead of 'Open' in the editor. On the bottom line for the file format, select the 3rd option 'Camera raw...' not the first 'Photoshop raw'.

Strange yellow color cast after CS4 install

I just ran into a strange problem helping a friend install PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install.
I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download?
The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
Has anyone else seen a problem like this before?? Any ideas? Thanks!

Magenta color cast problem on canon 7d raw files

when i import canon raw files (cr2) into lightroom 3, i get a magenta color cast over the whole image. the thumbnail image looks fine, but when lightroom opens up the image, it get's a magenta color cast over the whole thing. i shot raw+jpeg mode too, and there's a huge differnce in color between the two. the jpeg looks like how i shot it in camera but the raw image has the ugly magenta color. not only do i get this ugly color, but it seems like there's added noise compared to jpeg image.
i tried converting the cr2 into a dng. but when i open that in lightroom, i get the same problem.
i use aperture 2.1 (i only use the lr3 trial so far), but i have the same problem there.
i use cs3 but i downloaded cs5 trial.
acr i have is 6.1
help.
thanks.

Go to develop and the callibration tab and change it in the pull down menu to a canon default like 'Neutral' and not the adobe one which is made by somebody totally colour blind or obviously a Nikon fan.
Although this is weird as the problem for me has always been canon JPG's with the cast and not the RAW.
Also check your white balance cause Lightroom seems to change it whatever.. 'AS SHOT' is a big fat Adobe lie so use a preset from your camera in the drop down box.. Why? I shoot with Canon's flash WB setting which i know to be 5500k with the tint at zero. On import, Lightroom changes it to 6150 and adds an amazing +7 on the magenta tint, if i chose 'FLASH' things suddenly turn to what i see on the camera LCD.. I'm sure that is where the big fat tint has come from since day one.
