If you shoot RAW, the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in can change the white
balance of your picture when you open it.

Also, Photoshop CS got "Photo Filters". Inside this options, you can
simulate the filters used to balance the white using day-film indoors
(tungsten or incandecent bulbs).

PaintShop Pro does it nicely, I am trying to find the same thing in
PhotoShop CS. Nope, nothing like it.

I use Elements, and it has a tool that does this. I assume it's not in
PhotoShop, but here are the directions for Elements. From the Enhance menu,
select Adjust Color -> Remove Color Cast...

You put the resulting tool on a white, grey, or black area, the program
figures out which you mean, and adjusts the colors. Sometimes it guesses
grey when I mean white, but another stab at it works. See

http://www.civex.com/fixed.jpg
for samples. All with just a touch of the tool.

Curves works fairly well too.

I had Elements, found it too clunky, dumped for Photoshop CS.

So you'll know if there's a comparable one-step color-correction in
PhotoShop, right?

RAW, RAW, RAW. Sorry, just couldnt help myself. Then use one of the many
options. You can try to dropper tool to select what is supposed to be
"white" and everything will adjust accordingly. Now, this is fine, but
sometimes you want the image to actually look like tungsten instead of
"natural" light. But again, RAW is your best bet.

It's one of the standard photo filters; I think #80.

And how would you apply an 80B after the photo was taken? To answer the
original question there are plug-ins for PhotoShop like White Balance fro
The Imaging Factory http://www.theimagingfactory.com

In Photoshop CS, 'Image, Adjustment, Photo Filter' - Choose Cooling
#80 and whatever density works for you.

Or shoot RAW if you can, the Photoshop RAW importer lets you select
the white balance at the time of import.

There is an adjustment that's for automatic color corrections, but few I
know of use it.

An adjustment layer for Curves does it pretty well once you know how to
use it. The middle dropper is for grey values, and sometimes that alone
will do it. For color casts, I have come to appreciate separate levels
in R, G and B to remove 'em.

(1) Go to Adobe's Studio Exchange web site
(2) Look for a plug-in called

"Color Temperature Correct"

Filename: agdcolor.zip
http://share.studio.adobe.com/axAssetDetailSubmit.asp?a...
%2F%2Fshare%2Estudio%2Eadobe%2Ecom%2FaxQuickSearchSubmit%2Easp%3Ftxt%3Dcolo
r%2Btemperature%26allprods%3D0%26submit1%2Ex%3D23%26submit1%2Ey%3D10

or you could go directly to the ADG Software site in Russia. and download
the shareware version of the same plugin

Hi,

couple of ways you can do it. you can use the Photofilterby going to Image >
Adjustments > Photofilter
Use a blue filter and adjust the bar until the picture is to you liking.
You can also go to Adjustments > Levels and use one of the eye droppers. Place
the rightmost one on an are that is white, or the middle one on an are that you
know should be grey, or the leftmost one on an area that you know should be
black. That would take care of the color cast.

Where's the problem?
