Tutorial Color Casts and How to Remove Them

A bird in the sky can sometimes take on a shade of blue so then you have to correct the entire bird. You can correct it in the same way as a partial colour cast. So:

1. Take your image to Photoshop;
2. Select the bird and jump it to its separate layer (cntrl or cmnd J);
3. Open the fx menu and change the blending mode to Color Overlay;
4. Reduce opacity to 0% and click the rectangle to open the Color Picker;
5. Sample the correct colour and click OK;
6. Set the blending mode to Color;
7. You can play with the opacity here or later in the layers panel (where you can also add a mask if necessary).
