on adobe photoshop, how can i make the yelow-ish tint of my picture go away?

Question

the picture i took has a yellowish colour to it because of my light... is there a way to get rid of it without making it a black and white picture?

Answer 1

If you have CS2 or later, use the Photo Filter and choose a cooling filter. These are designed to correct for different light.

Image -> Adjustments -> Photo Filter

In the drop down list choose one of the three Cooling Blue filters. You can also change the opacity slider in this same box. Just look at the image and decide what looks best.

Answer 2

There are a couple ways you can do this. One is by contrasting the image. Or you can can saturate it and apply the changes (warm or cool) to it. You can also add other colors to add a cool effect and balance it out (but if you dont know what you're doing copy and paste as a new image and work it out there. Or you can choose, Cleanup (or something like that, it depends on the version of photoshop you're using.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Increase Blue to offset the Yellow. And in the future, either use a hand-held light meter, or adjust for the incandescant lighting in your exposure.

Answer 4

What version of Photoshop? Try changing the hue of the photo, this changes the color that saturates the picture, hope this helps.

Answer 5

the yellowish color is the color cast made by the source light, try enhance>remove color cast>tick at any sipposed to be white or black or gray then click to desire, have fun!
