REMOVE a Color Cast EVERY SINGLE TIME with PHOTOSHOP (Lightroom)

[@AnthonyMorganti]

In this tutorial I demonstrate how easy it is to remove a color cast, in post processing, from an image using Photoshop. In the video, I begin in Lightroom but you can begin in any RAW editor you happen do be using including, but not limited to, Luminar, On1 Photo, Exposure X5, Capture One, etc. Please follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/anthonymorganti/ Gear & Settings Used to Capture Image in Video: Fujifilm X-T1 - New Model X-T4: amzn.to/2ZbvgT3 Fujifilm 23mm F1.4 Lens: amzn.to/2t0VnOt 1/350, F11, iso: 200 at 23mm Checkout my Recommended Gear List: www.amazon.com/shop/anthonymorganti If you're interested in Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Stock, and the Creative Cloud, you can find more info here: bit.ly/2zwQ0nW I use this software to record my screen: telestream.pxf.io/DMrW2 Unsure of how to price your photography?

[@Daddy4rime]

So easy and so powerful especially for long exposures, when using an ND filter often leaves a color cast. Thank you!

[@gabriellacassano]

Anthony you never cease to amaze me. This is exactly what I need. Thank you for your posting. ❤️

[@JordangoAZ]

Wow! This works fantastic for underwater (scuba) photos that have a heavy color cast! It provides a much better place to start than anything else I've tried. THANKS!!

[@MarKuzvicky]

Thank you. Awesome tip for us "not professional" people.

[@pamtalluto]

Oh my gosh!! I'm just finding this and yes, it works! I'm a real estate photographer and do HDR.. I've ALWAYS struggled with color casts. This is phenomenal, thank you!!

[@jeffcaughey]

Why didn't I watch this video sooner?!?! Thank you Anthony!

[@CafeCreativeYT]

Just applied this technique to some Provia 100f medium format scans and it did wonders, thank you so much!

[@christophmunch4796]

Simply install Nik Collection. Go to Color Efex Pro. Choose "Pro Contrast". Remove color cast in the desired amount by shifting the "color cast" slider. Done.

[@daviddunk2966]

Luminar has a color cast slider too that I use frequently. I wish Adobe would add this feature to Lightroom.

[@melonsquareful]

Thanks so much for your tutorials. I wanted to share my go to Photoshop tool for color correcting, which is the auto feature in curves. To set up, open curves, go to "auto options" (top right drop down box in curves property box), select "find light and dark colors," change clipping % to 10% for shadows and highlights, and save as default. To color correct going forward, just click on "auto" in curves - just one click :). Occasionally, I'll play with clipping % and other color correction options. I'm just a hobbyist. This techniques has been great for restoring old photos with color casts.

Gold. Bar none. Best tip EVER. Worth the price of admission.

[@thattravelgirl]

By far the easiest fix I’ve tried so far. It might not be the perfect solution every time, but it’s close enough to perfect in most cases. And, it’s short and sweet which makes it easier to remember the next time I do this I don’t need to go find the video tutorial to remember all the steps I need to take! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.

[@deemat100]

Brilliant. So simple, yet clearly effective. Definitely one for my arsenal. Thank you very much, Anthony, from this 79-year-old in li'l ol' England!

[@sashahelcl4828]

Thank you, Anthony. Again, a very useful and much-appreciated tip.

[@JohnChubbSr]

Works beautifully!!!

[@docham]

First thing with coffee in the morning for me is another of your videos. Always informative and to the point. Many thanks.

[@Batteristafoto]

WOW this was tremendously useful! Thank youuuuu!!!

[@michaellekas27]

Excellent video. You truly are Mr. Photographer. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos on lightroom and photoshop

[@MikeT-yy3]

Excellent method, much easier than a lot of others.

[@Go2Harb]

Thanks, had a photo with a strong color cast. I followed the process you outlined and it worked great. I had to flatten and repeat 4 times and much happier with the output.

[@chrisholmes6311]

Thanks for this tip. I'm trying to edit a batch of Whale breaching photos. You have saved me!

[@dariusdickens3614]

Wow! I've needed this tutorial for years. Thanks!

[@brucekraft744]

Wow! Thank you, Anthony! This is such a great process. Casts have always been a bugaboo for me. I will be rocking this one!

[@normameyers4904]

I would love to see more tutorials for beginners that are intimidated by photoshop. Clear, step by step instructions.

[@Musiclysweet18]

I can't thank you enough for this video! It saved a interiors shoot I thought I had to redo. This helped so much! You are wonderful for this. :)

[@naththoau]

Wow Im blown away. I tried my and it works like that. 30% opacity seems to be best choice around.

[@naththoau]

I own Sony A7 and sometimes white balance can be off for some scene. That's why this is useful when I need it.

[@pesthlm]

Very simple and useful technique ! Thank you!

[@kingkongweta2]

Although this is a very good tip. I would not recommend it if you do an "crazy" amount of editing on the image in Lightroom afterwards because you introduced - to a (non-destructive) Lightroom workflow - a destructive workflow in Photoshop by converting it into a TIFF file. Then you reimported the TIFF again in LR. Now it is a flattened layer which can still bear a certain amount of "abuse" but you deprived yourself of the RAW workflow later - e.g. pushing or pulling highlights and shadows. I'd rather use this process at the end of the workflow than the beginning.

[@_HMCB_]

Darn. Didn’t think of that. I had hoped it was retained as RAW when saved from PS. 😭

[@lancechinnian4043]

Neat little trick!

[@richardh353]

Another awesome video, I've been using PS since CS2, never heard of so many of the techniques you show, thank you.

[@52701970]

This is great! Thank you

[@MikePearcePhoto]

Excellent - thank you.

[@ivanlupi5123]

Thank you so much. I was about to return my new samyang 85 1.4 because of the yellowish greenish color cast and you gave me a quick and easy fix for that and any other color casts.

Anthony. Good, effective and short. Thank you

[@RockWilliams]

I went from knowing zero about processing photos to having one of my photos used by Rolling Stone and I must give credit to YOU for your tutorials for giving me direction. Anthony, you make the complex become simple and your calming voice is easy to follow. Thank you for all you do!! I always recommend to new photographers to first watch your videos. Again, thank you Sir.

[@solojetset]

Thank you, Anthony! always great tips short and sweet!

[@phattaxman]

Fantastic! So easy and effective. Thank you.

[@IkeJr2008]

WOWZERS, what great process. Thanks!

[@allanharris5508]

Very useful tip.

[@milesstevens5166]

Holy crap it works. Someone else would do a better job explaining why, BUT YES, it's different from just bumping the color temp slider in LR. Hats off.

[@DavePruett]

Great tip!

[@rayrozema5960]

Great instruction

[@TCizauskas]

Brilliant!

[@user-eb6eb2hk6q]

Thanks for the EXCELLENT tutorial (as usual) and great tip!

[@JCouv52]

Super tip. Thx

[@hogartp]

Hi Anthony Thanks again for another great video. I never knew about this method for correcting overcasts colors. Thanks for your great videos. Pat Hogarty from El Dorado Hills California.

[@veselinvasilev9362]

Thank you very much!

[@FrankFiorentino]

This is great tip and it also works the same way in Affinity Photo.

[@welles2002]

amazing thank you

[@MikeNelsonPedde]

Great stuff! I don't use Ps but I created a macro in Affinity Photo and it works really well.

[@longboardfella5306]

Thanks so much! I just fixed some problem images with your great tip

[@wildcousa]

Great video thank you; love long exposures also. Been having issue with landscapes have tried other ways also.

[@DickBudnik]

If it doesn't go far enough, just make a copy of the top warmer layer and stack it in Overlay mode on top of the first correction.

[@BobG-eh5fc]

That was my thought, rather than flaten and go thru the process again. Wonder if one WF had advantages/disadvantages over the other?

[@davethursfield9283]

Nice tip, works with Elements 13 too.

[@anarchy0208]

Very Impressive sir. Thanks for the useful tip!

[@Clickshanks]

This is an amazing tip! Ive always tried using white balance sliders to correct colours and it never works out this well.

[@garys639]

Didn't know this one,I do now,thanks Anthony.

[@mariovanparys5005]

super , thanks

[@JBSwanstrom]

Wow mind blown, I have been scanning in old ektachrome images and they all have a tint that well they look like ektachrome. Trying this to see if can help speed up the workflow.

[@algordon6796]

Very Cool! Or warm...

[@adamsabaz2415]

Wicked Tip! Thank you!

[@ralphwatson7036]

Very useful tip, thanks. Easy steps to do but, for me, hard to remember next time I need it.

[@debid4665]

You can always do the steps along with him talking and create an action for it so next time you have to do it, play the action.

[@iczemi]

Wow thank you, I really liked this and I appreciate it.

[@rickierecardophotography7406]

Great tutorial!

[@TheLaserCollective]

I love this. But for high key contrast images with lots of white it makes my images super contrasty - and I find myself having to fix that. Would love to see how you would handle that so the white doesn't look so magenta but doesn't change the contrast on the subject.

[@acraftman2823]

Anthony I just would like to say Kapow! Thanks for making this sooo easy to comprehend,I am one of those people that has been paying for ps but am just flat out intimidated by it but I know if I keep dipping into it one bit at a time I will get hopefully as comfortable as I am with Lr.

[@timoteiafanasie4894]

How about reading a manual of Photoshop ;-)? Or "Photoshop for dummies"?

[@FredMast]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@jk-fotovideo550]

Thanks:)

[@rohanpeters1416]

Anthony great job. I was alway thought to convert the pic to a smart object before I apply a filter. Should I convert the pic prior to doing this process?

[@wolfhound2000]

A much easier solution that I use is select Image/Adjustments/Match Color and click on the Neutralise checkbox. Works 99% of the time. Such a powerful option that I’ve not seen many people use at all.

[@rainman3594]

Great tip Anthony thank you. About your method of saving back to Lightroom. When you used the “save” option it automatically reopened back into Lightroom. I use the “save as” option because I found that using the “save” option did not save the file with all the layers. The problem is, when I use the “save as” option it doesn’t reopen automatically back into Lightroom. I actually have to minimize Photoshop to get back into Lightroom. Any thoughts on how I can use the “save as” option and have Lightroom open automatically?

[@rlfisher]

That's clever! I would be interested to learn why/how it works (overlay of the inverse blur).

[@Swanson000]

Anthony, couldn't you use the "subtract" blend mode on the generated color cast layer, rather than invert and overlay?

[@gourikhot5390]

Nice

[@derekshearer9049]

Photoshop is a little hard to get into but there's a lot of KZbin help out there and before you know it you're a pro....

[@modgalaxys3]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

[@DavidMarkErickson]

Nice tip! Would you do other adjustments in Lightroom before sending to Photoshop? Or would you remove color cast first and then finish developing in Lightroom?

[@mrdev9843]

Even if you don't need to remove colour cast the image looks nicer using this trick :) Also, if you just "Control J" the adjusted layer the effect if amplified cheers 👍👍

[@brianminkc]

My cheap ND filter causes a green cast. I hope this works. This is deeper than I like to go in Photoshop. I get confused with all the layers and options in this software. Just never have had any luck in itt.

[@welshman2081]

Hi Anthony Great to watch, I am still using LR 5 and Elements 2020, Can I still follow your Tutorial, Regards welshman 2081

[@eevagirl]

Awesome thank you (:

[@kavinkumar6965]

Is this method is applicable to the interior images also?

[@jimmirose2645]

Dot caaaaam.

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Wow, that's a great tip!!!. Couldn't you just duplicate the color correction layer in lightroom instead of flatten and create a new layer?

[@specialized41]

Good information, but the video at the beginning (introduction) are too long-slow, waiting almost 6 minutes to start with the information.

[@wjgraham63]

Hi. It kept repeating the color cast issue. I had different color than you on both blur and invert. I had a pink screen on invert. I would then do the overlay and back to strong blue and pink in the image. I would have to go to 0% on opacity (both times) and still have blue overcast. Is there a better solution? Thank you.

[@romiemiller3093]

I've found that if I edit in ON1 and go to Photoshop, I can't go back to ON1 without the image beiing corrupted when I save it.

[@Wakodaf]

Thank you! I will try it... little bit scared cause photoshop :(

[@neklamp2431]

But you lose the advantages of the raw file...

[@mikehunt5626]

SO when you save it in photoshop, does it come back as a raw file in Lr?

[@denolispolite9391]

Please help. I took my very first headshot image on a greenscreen... I have the awful color cast outling the entire image... Is there something I can do? I've tried following the suggestions on youTube but I dont understand most of them. I tried this but it came out too warm. Can not find the balance. Suggestions please..

[@plugh42trident]

If the correction isn't enough, why not just make a copy of the correction layer? If it's too strong a correction with both, just reduce the opacity of one of them.

[@howardholtzman1331]

Is this going to work with an image that has 2 different color cast?

[@CloudCapsules]

Please give steps to do this in On1 Photo Raw 2020. Duplicated layer. Blurred in BLUR effects Gaussian>100%. How to Invert?

[@sarimner]

this is good to: 1. Create a copy of the Background Layer (Layer>Layer via Copy) 2. Create a Curves, or Levels layer above the copied background layer 3. Filter>Blur>Average (your image will change to a solid color; don't worry.) 4. Select the Curves or Levels Layer and click on the Grey Point dropper 5. Select the blurred layer 6. Place the eyedropper anywhere on the blurred image and click. (the image will turn to some shade of grey) 7. Turn off layer visibility of the blurred layer (you can also safely delete this layer) 8. View the resulting image. The color balance should be very close. If it needs tweaking, you can adjust any of the RGB channels individually to fine tune. ;)

[@barryroberts2474]

I have a set of images where the vetran car needed warming up to correct the colour but then the background is warm. Any comments would help. I have noticed light colours take sky colour easily.

[@NegativeCompensation]

Sounds simple enough, but Adobe is way behind the times on this, and the video proves it.

[@jfrw222]

This also works in Affinity Photo.

[@MrMasPick]

I found that out, too! I actually created a macro to do it one click. Pretty sweet. d:¬{D

[@zm4518]

Can this can be done in element?

[@MrMasPick]

I just tested that out, and yes, it can.

[@dilipparasu7476]

People can use actions to make it easier
