The color temperature of the light in which a photo is shot determines how…colors will appear in the photo.…Most cameras have an Auto White Balance control that tries to render the…whites in a scene as neutral white, with other colors falling in around that pretty accurately.…But sometimes that doesn't work, and the result is an image with a color cast.…Before I show you how to fix an unwanted color cast in Camera RAW, I want to…make the point that not all color casts are unwanted.…Sometimes, as in this photo, a color cast can tell the story, or set the mood for a photo.…
This photo, for example, was taken at the end of the day, when the sky really had…this beautiful warm cast, and that's what this photo is all about,…so I wouldn't want to try and remove it.…Let me show you a couple of photos that do have an unwanted color cast.…Here in my Organizer, I am going to go to the Size slider, and drag it to the…left, so you can see a couple of other photos, which both are way too orange.…So I'm going to bring those into Camera RAW, and see if we can fix that.…
