Remove color cast from your photos in Photoshop

Remove color cast from your photos in Photoshop

In this tutorial, Michael Woloszynowicz demonstrates how to effectively remove color cast from photos in Photoshop, particularly addressing an overall orange tint common in portraits. Instead of the usual Color Balance method, Michael introduces a more nuanced technique involving the creation of a new group called Offset. Within this group, layers are created and filled with sampled colors from the photo's highlight and shadow areas. By adjusting these layers' blending modes and opacities, the unwanted color cast is mitigated, providing a more balanced and natural look.

This method allows for precise adjustments and can be applied to the entire image or targeted areas, making it ideal for correcting color issues in portrait photography and other images where accurate color representation is crucial.
