Removing yellow color cast?

[jacinda]

I took some photos for a friend's baptism yesterday. The photos turned out alright, but they all have a yellow cast from the indoor lighting. What is the easiest method to remove the yellow? I'm sure the way I'm doing it is NOT the simplest method. Thanks. :wub:

I use an action for a lot of mine, but you can futz with a color adjustment layer pretty easily in Photoshop. Levels (for white balance) can also help.

eta; If you use adjustment layers and find a combination that you think works well on all of them with minor tweaking, you can record your own action and run a batch process to do them all at once. Very speedy.

I do the same as Krystal. the color of paint in my house lends itself well to yellow casts so I have an action of my own that works pretty well for my house settings.

Or just add in a blue cooling filter, remember that you can change the opacity or add another layer if necessary.

If there is a known "white" in the photo... I use the Enhance >> Adjust Color >> Remove Color Cast (that is in PSE, though)... I think Heather did a Tutorial on it...

oh, yes.. here it is - https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/.../12/fixing-color-cast-in-pseaw-and-lightroom/

Most times I will add a Color Balance adjustment layer and use the slides to correct color.

You guys are awesome. Thank you!

In PS I use the Photo Filter via an adjustment layer and in LR, I adjust the tint. Almost all of my photos are edited in LR first, so adjusting the tint is my primary method.

If you have Lightroom, alot of time using a different white balance setting helps.
