Colour Cast Removal

[mrsjangles]

Hi. How can I remove this yellow colour cast?   This photo was taken under a pergola which had a yellow colour bond roof.   OUCH!  I have tried a few things such as a photo filter, I have also tried to create a levels adjustment and changing the RGB invdividually.  I hope you can help with this one.

This method should do it: http://www.damiensymonds.net/levels-eyedropper

I sampled from near her knee, then clicked near her forehead.

While it makes the background look ok, her skin is still not perfect.  After you do all your Levels work, you'd cool those warm areas with a cooling Photo Filter.

After Levels and stuff:

That looks great Damien.  This is what is happening to mine so far.  I can't seem to get it looking right.  This is sampled just above the knee and then clicked behind her forehead.

May I see a screenshot, including your layers panel?

[mrsjangles]

How is this looking?  Could I start levels to fix the rest?

[Damien Symonds]

Gee, it shouldn't be all blue like that at the bottom.

[mrsjangles]

I know right!  maybe I'm clicking too close near the dress area?

 

[Damien Symonds]

No, the point is that the bottom shouldn't be affected at all.  That's why I need to see a screenshot.

Your mask should be completely black down at the level of her feet.

[mrsjangles]

No it's not

Is this better?  It is still  a bit of yellow along the top?

Hey, that's great!

Yes, still a little yellow, but you could fix that with a little bit of desaturation with a Hue/Saturation layer, perhaps?

Thanks, I will post in levels class for my levels work.
