To improve your photographs, start by adjusting the colors. Different types of lighting, photographic equipment, and photo processing can cause incorrect coloring in images. In addition, scanned images or digital camera images can have unnatural color casts.
Important: These commands work on 16 million color images only. To increase the color depth of an image, see Increasing the Color Depth of an Image.
Ways to correct colors:
Automatically Balancing Colors This command works best for correcting images with several colors rather than images with variations of one color. See Automatically Balancing Colors.
Using Source and Target Colors to Correct Colors Manually Use this command when the image has skin tones that need to be corrected or when you want to get a specific color exactly right. This adjustment also works well for images with grossly incorrect colors. See Using Source and Target Colors to Correct Colors Manually.
Using Greyworld to Adjust Colors Like the Automatic Color Balance command, the Grey World Color Balance command corrects image colors, but it uses a different mathematical algorithm. See Using Greyworld to Adjust Colors.
Correcting Faded Images Use the Fade Correction command to restore color and contrast to faded photographic images. See Correcting Faded Images.
