Adding a color filter
Easily fix the most common color problemsThe Photo Filter command is designed to correct common color balance problems quickly as well as help you easily add a warming or cooling effect to your images. Once you learn how to use it, you'll find it to be a perfect way to control color casts, whether you want to add them or get rid of them. The first four options in the Filter dropdown list are the warming and cooling filters, which are designed to compensate or re-create color tints caused by ambient lighting conditions. The warming filters shift the colors of an image toward yellow to compensate for an abundance of blue, as shown in our Problem image. Cooling filters shift every color in an image toward blue. The Warming Filter (85) and Cooling Filter (80) seem to apply their adjustments to the white balance, while Warming Filter (81) and Cooling Filter (82) make minor adjustments to the overall color quality of an image. For example, you may find that using Cooling Filter (80) doesn't have an adequate effect on the shadows or midtones. In that case, the color quality filters (81 or 82) might be the better choice. As always, experiment with various filter and density combinations to find the ideal settings for your image. Better color in less timeThe Photo Filter provides an easy tool for working with color balance. In general, you can enhance color casts in an image by choosing a similar color filter or you can lessen a color cast by choosing a filter of a complementary color. It won't replace your regular suite of color-correction tools, but it's great for quick color shifts and special effects. |
