Quick white balance or colour cast correction

Here's a very quick (but rough) way to correct white balance or colour cast issues.

  1. Open your image in Photoshop or similar
  2. Open the Curves panel (Image > Adjustments > Curves)
  3. Select the Set White Point tool (white eye dropper icon). Click it into a pure white area of the image
  4. Select the Set Black Point tool (black eye dropper icon). Click it into a pure black area of the image
  5. Press OK

If you are lucky and can identify a 50% grey area in your image you could use the Set Grey Point tool instead of steps 3 and 4 above.
