Being hard of hearing and have to wear headphones, I find ALL of your tutorials sound really crisp and sharp, makes a hell of a difference from other CC's videos 👌

[@glyndewis]

That’s great to know … thank you

[@emmabuckley-wales]

Wow, fantastic! I'm so glad I found this. Thank you for explaining so clearly.

[@glyndewis]

Glad it was helpful

[@paulrepage]

Another useful, easy way:
Make 2 copies of image.
On top layer, apply Filter>Blur>Average. Should turn the image solid color of some shade of whatever cast is present.
Open curves adjustment layer.
Choose GRAY eye dropper tool and click once inside the Average blur top layer.
Now delete that top Average blur layer.
Your image is color corrected.

[@glyndewis]

Yep...lots of ways to do it. I like this one because it literally is just one-click ;)

[@paulrepage]

@@glyndewis Yup... been using your way for years. MUCH easier than the one I listed.

[@glyndewis]

@@paulrepage Mate...it's great to have lots of techniques to give the same result; really liking the one you shared...works a treat.

[@Argolich]

I've watched 10 videos with tips for "correcting a color cast" in either PS or LR in the last few days. Half of them I turned off before getting halfway through because they were so ponderous and complicated. Not going to insult these folks. Clearly they have a PhD in Photoshop and I do not but these tutorials move too fast, have too much going on and are not as simple for those without extensive PS training. This was succinct, easy to follow and just well done. Thanks!

[@glyndewis]

Great to hear this ... thank you

[@juanalvarez8758]

Glyn, your tips and tricks are easy to follow and incredibly helpful! Thank you!!

Thanks Glyn, a really super fast system for correction.

[@glyndewis]

[@Moontorc_]

Wow, been using photoshop for 15+ years and the odd time I have to colour correct, I spend ages fiddling with sliders. THIS IS GOLD!

[@bammedia3429]

Awesome tip!!!

[@IaninLondon]

Excellent tip! As ever, the brilliance of Photoshop is hidden behind impossible to remember keyboard+mouse clicks and sub menus........👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@glyndewis]

Thanks mate. Yeah...amazing what you can find when holding down the Alt / Option key and clicking around :)

[@vladepast4936]

Outstanding!

Brilliant!!! so many little bits of useful tricks hidden away in PS - thank you for putting this into my memory bank.

[@ekstrod7132]

Would you recommend using this as opposed to the Threshold method? It's certainly faster! I always keep your tutorials as future references when needed....absolute Godsend.
Thanks for all your postings

[@glyndewis]

Actually got a better way to do this … easier than the threshold method too and I prefer the results. Just recorded it in my class for the upcoming photoshoot virtual summit 5; a class called “The Colour Conundrum” bit.ly/photoshoppvs5

Excellent tip - well presented. Thanks.

[@glyndewis]

Thanks for that 👍🏻

[@dominiclester3232]

Thanks Glyn! Any suggestions for when we shoot in amazing golden light and the camera “neutralises” it? I always shoot in raw but I feel I’m guessing at the result...

[@MichaelErkens]

Glad to know that I'm not the only one that sometimes forget to shoot a color checker...
Didn't know that you can change that "auto" button, nice to know!
Do you know if there is something simular in lightroom for when I need to change all the photos? I don't use photoshop when I can do my "stuff" in only lightroom :)

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Michael...I'll keep you posted re the LR option ;)

[@edbrett5104]

great instruction.. fab tip.... i'm getting mixed results... should i NOT be doing an initial white balance in RAW?? or shouldn't it matter? alot of my shooting is under questionable lighting quality, (american HS gyms) with everything from daylight L.E.D.s to sodium vapor to a total mix in the same gym,, i'm NOT even going to try for outside lighting at nite....thanks .. stay safe

[@sfrancfrancnrm8640]

Hi glyn come here at least once a week.

[@glyndewis]

Thanks :)

[@SummersSnaps]

Nice nice! Is there a LR equivalent? I'll have to compare the results of what PS spits out vs LR's Auto WB feature. I wonder how they compare...

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Eddy. Re Lightroom...I'll keep you posted ;)

[@bySterling]

AMAZING!!

[@glyndewis]

Thank you

[@wolfhound2000]

To colour correct in Photoshop I generally go to Image/Adjustments/Match Color and click on "Neutralise". This mostly does a great job for me. Would you know if there is a difference between the two methods or are they different ways to get the same result? I'll try playing around with them both. BTW, I follow up the neutralise by using your method to choose the best algorithm for the image - they each give a slightly different result. Thanks for the video.

[@amiralidarooghe1196]

Perfect

I wonder why Adobe don't add this tool to Lightroom and spare us all from having to move photos from Lightroom to Photoshop just to fix a color cast.

Is it Lightroom?

Photoshop
