Using the Color Cast Tool (LCH Mode Only)
The Color Cast tool is used to eliminate any
unwanted color casts in an image, as well as to
add a color cast without altering the lightness
channel “L” values.
In the example here, the original has a slight
cyan cast that makes the image look cold and
unappealing. The solution: Remove the
undesirable color cast.
1. Place the image to be corrected on your
scanner.
2. Click the Overview button, and you will see
the image appear in your Preview window.
3. Select the area to be prescanned with the
Scan Frame tool, then click the Prescan
button to obtain a prescan image, and
switch to the Prescan preview from the
View menu.
4. Click the Color Cast tool in the Settings
window. The Color Cast screen will appear.
5. Move pointer toward preview image (notice
that the pointer turns into Neutral
Eyedropper pointer). With the Eyedropper
pointer, click the color cast that you wish to
remove. In the example here, we click on the
“watch tower” of the fishing boat to remove
the unwanted cyan cast.
6. Check the Preview box so that the image in
the Preview window is updated with the
latest image correction. The update is done
in the background and so may take a few
moments to show.
7. Click OK to confirm the correction.
