To add color cast to an image
Introduce Cast lets you deliberately create a color cast in an otherwise balanced image – for
example, to make it appear warmer or cooler. It is particularly useful if you want to create cast in
only certain tonal areas of the image.
For general information about working with the color tools – see page 242.
1 • First neutralize the overall gr
ay balance and apply any desired saturation adjustments.
2 • Open the Introduce Cast window.
3 • Click on the desired lightness range in the bar at the left of the window.
4 • Click on an appropriate spot on the color wheel and observe the effect in the feedback win-
dow. For example:
5 • If the desired effect is not achieved, click on Reset and try again.
6 • To change other areas of the image, repeat the process of clicking on the desired lightness
range, clicking on the desired spot on the color wheel and observing the effect until you are
satisfied.
• Click on a red, orange or yellow color to make the image warmer.
• Click on a blue, green or purple color to make the image cooler.
