Tutorial: How to Effectively Remove Color Casts from Your Photos in Seconds

There are many ways to remove color casts from your images in Photoshop, but this tutorial by photographer and retoucher Michael Woloszynowicz offers one of the quickest, easiest and most effective methods we’ve seen.

Here’s his before and after:

The great thing about this technique, other than Woloszynowicz’s claim that it works on any kind of image, is that it employs color theory to get consistent results every time — and it won’t alter the overall coloring of your images either.

To see how he does it, check out the video at the top. And once you’re done, definitely head over to his YouTube channel or blog for a lot more useful tutorials like this one.
