Step-by-Step Process

1. Initial Setup

• Duplicate the background layer (Ctrl+J or Cmd+J).

• Identify areas with a dominant color (e.g., red) that need correction.

2. Using Existing Tools

• Demonstrates how traditional tools like "Levels" and "Curves" struggle to balance colors effectively.

• Issues:

  • Levels tool may overcompensate, creating an unwanted color shift.

  • Curves tool neutralizes but can introduce a new dominant color (e.g., cold tones).

3. Configuring Automatic Correction

• Create an adjustment layer for "Curves."

• Access "Auto Options" from the settings (three-bar menu in Curves).

• Configure to:

  • Search for Light and Dark Colors: Automatically neutralizes tones.

  • Adjust Neutral Midtones: Ensures midtones are accurately balanced.

• Customize the darkest and lightest points:

  • Shadows adjusted to pure black.

  • Highlights adjusted to pure white.

  • Midtones fine-tuned to ensure a neutral gray (RGB 128,128,128).

4. Saving the Configuration

• Save the settings as defaults for future use.

• Verify the adjustment:

  • Apply the "Auto" function to a new Curves layer to instantly correct the color.

Practical Applications

Instructor's Tips

  • A dominant color in shadows, midtones, or highlights indicates imbalance.

  • Correcting each range ensures proper color neutralization.

• Fine adjustments can further enhance results:

  • Channels can be manually adjusted after auto-correction if needed.
