Perhaps the most important image adjustment you can make is to the colors in your image. While most viewers can forgive an image that's slightly out of focus or not as sharp as it could be, colors that don't match up to our expectations stick out like a sore thumb. Thankfully, Photoshop has a comprehensive set of color correcting tools that are ready to tackle even the most off-color image.
