Managing Colour Cast

The brief for this exercise is to find two or three photographs showing a significant colour cast, and then to 'correct' it.

I have looked back over the photographs I have taken for this module to see if there is any thing suitable to work on.

I found this Photograph of some chimneys taken from my mums garden, they are all that really remain from a beautiful old house.

It is possible to see that the clouds are not the correct colour, and have a cast of almost magenta across them, as this spoils an otherwise nice photograph, I am interested to see how by 'correcting' the colour cast  I can 'improve' it.

The 'corrections' I applied to this photograph are to adjust the white balance from Cloudy to daylight and to adjust the tint slider to +3, although this was only a very small adjustment it has added a bit more depth.

This second photograph is again of the chimneys, this time I intend to adjust the white balance as before, but also  to adjust the temperature slider to see if that makes  any significant difference.

 I adjusted the temperature slider to +4700 and this time the image looks as I remember it, the sky is better and I am happy with this now.
One of the things I did notice on completion of this exercise, is that although the photographs I chose to use originally had a colour cast,  it did almost add something to the photograph.  By this I mean that the original photographs had an aged look about them which is almost in keeping with the chimneys in the photographs.
This I guess could be called artist choice.
