Love this third option, thanks for sharing! So clean and nice

You are so welcome!

[@shelleythebabe]

Thank you that was explained so well! Super helpful!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Great to hear!

[@lewingale1]

Thank you, I will be spending my weekend trying this out

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Have fun!

[@sabi_ne]

This is very helpful. I've actually been wondering about how to do exactly this a few days ago. 😁 Thank you so much ♥️

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jer3006]

Ohh, love that option 3 Filter method! What a great tip and how-to! Once again you have performed a miracle. I thank you. Clooney, my mostly white-with-brown-spots dog thanks you. 🐶👍

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thank you and thank you Clooney!

Color cast correction is one of the things that I struggle in so much ....Jess you are saviour....Lots of love to you

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

You too Rohit! Casts from grass are the worst I think, but they are correctable for sure. Sometimes you might need to use two methods and spot treat too, that's ok 🤓

[@fotofee7447]

The third Option is fantastic! Trank you for sharing.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

You're welcome 🙏

[@pawshphotographyllc8744]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The horrible leprechaun green color cast is often very vexing to correct. This makes it easy. You have saved me hours of working time. Have I said thank you? ;-)

my lord, You are incredible. i wish i knew this like 5 years ago...Thank you.

Happy to help!

@@ThatPhotographySpot there is one thing... do i need to implement the first two options (desat etc) before applying the third one that i like?

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

No, you do them all individually 👌🏼

*goes off to try and figure out how to do options 2 & 3 on Affinity*

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

May the odds be ever in your favour Nathan!

[@jer3006]

Nathan: for option 3 in Affinity Photo, suggest you consider New Adjustment Layer > Lens Filter. When the Lens Filter palette opens, click on the color box (likely it has defaulted to the same orange as in Jess' example), then whatever color mode is displayed, click the dropdown list and select LAB sliders. This will give you the A & B fields to reverse the sign, but first click on the eyedropper, drag it to the source of the color cast and click. That color will now be in the dot next to the eyedropper. Click the color dot and it will be transferred into the slider fields. Now you can reverse the signs in the A&B numeric fields. Everything else should work as expected. Good luck and good editing.

[@NathanSquires]

jer thank you for this!

THAT IS SO SLICK. Love that third option.

Thanks Marie!

[@eoslove2022]

How were you able to discern a green cast in the brown fur? Wonderful tutorial! We shoot with a Color Checker Passport grey patch but of course getting the correct color balance does not eliminate a color cast induced by reflected light. Was it your experience that led you to check for reflected light coloration?

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Seeing casts becomes really easy when you’ve handled a few! Using a card regularly in a shoot with a dog that is neither black nor white gives the best middle ground to getting colour right in editing 👌

[@davedaly5411]

Question, what if your color blind with certain shades?

[@lingyic3549]

what is color cast??????

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Good Q! Colour cast is different from white balance, that is an important distinction to make. A cast is a colour that is "cast back" off of an item or element within the environment. It could be grass (usually is) but it can also be from coloured seamless paper in studio, or from bright elements within the environment, like moss, road signs, floor coverings or toys. Most dogs with white on them have off-white/yellowish tinge to their white parts which is because dogs are not kept squeaky clean as standard (completely natural!), this can also be addressed with the methods in this video, but a cast is a reflection of colour from an element within the immediate environment. Hope this helps!
