In this movie, I'll show you an unconventional approach to correcting color cast…that involves a command known as Photo Filter, and I've gone ahead centered the…final image, which is this layer at the bottom of the stack, photo filter.…So I'll go ahead select it.…Now the purpose of Photo Filter is to simulate this old style lens filters that…used to be more popular back in the days of film photography.…Now that we've gone digital, those filters have been largely supplanted by post processing.…Now the first thing you want to do is you want to grab the Eyedropper once…again, and you want to click on that pillow, or other neutral image element, in…order to lift its color, and you can see that we go from a gray color along the…bottom to that low saturation orange, and then you want to note the values here…inside the Color panel.…
Everytime you click with the Eyedropper you are going to get different values,…just bear that in mind, but I've got some very close values;…a hue of 32 and a saturation of 26.…

Q: Where can I learn more about graphic design?
A: Discover more on this topic by visiting graphic design on lynda.com.
Q: When I double click the welcome.psd file included with the exercise files, I get the following error message:
"Some text layers contain fonts that are missing. These layers will need to have the missing fonts replaced before they can be used for vector based output."
Unlike the TIF and JPEG files which display and open correctly, all the icons for PSD files are blank but other than the welcome.psd file, they seem to open correctly without the error message. Is this a problem that I should address (perhaps re-download the files or find the missing fonts)?
A: The TIFF and JPEG files are flat, so they don't contain fonts and the operating system can interpret them (and generate thumbnails) without help from Photoshop. The PSD files have two issues:
First, they may contain editable text complete with font info. The files are designed with fonts that ship with Photoshop, so you don't get error messages, but Adobe sells some versions of Photoshop without fonts. This may be your issue.
Second, the PSD files contain no flat previews. This makes for smaller files, but it means the operating system, Mac or Windows, cannot generate previews. That won't effect your experience in Photoshop, but it does mean you can't see the file until you open it.
