"Color Balance" is one of the most helpful color adjustment tools.
- If the edited document is layered select the uppermost layer in the Layers panel.
- Apply the "Color Balance" command.
There appears dialog box allowing you to redistribute image color. The logic of this tool is based on RGB color model. That is, by adding a primary - red, green, or blue - color, you reduce amount of its complementary - cyan, magenta, or yellow - color. And vice versa.
- For example, to remove yellow color cast, you move the lowest slider "blue'ward"; to decrease cyan, you move the uppermost slider "red'ward" (screenshot).
NB If the sliders "stick" to the cursor, don't move it during a second after releasing the mouse button.
- The radio-buttons under the sliders let you restrict edited tonal range. For instance, you can try to add some yellow in the image shadows and decrease this color in the highlights.
- Click "OK" to apply your adjustment.
If you need to modify the created adjustment layer's settings use Edit Adjustment Layer command.
