Info

image is in Grayscale, Lab or CMYK color, PhotoKit Color will not be able to process your image. Once the image was open in Photoshop, I navigated to the File > Automate menu to launch PhotoKit Color 2. Because the image was rather dark, I began by choosing the Tone Enhance Set and selected the Plus 1 Stop PhotoKit Color effect. Note than when the Preview box is checked, you will see the effect applied in the preview area. Removing the color cast Now that the image had been lightened I could then look at removing the strong yellow cast. Because I wished to produce a cumulative effect here, there was no need to click OK to add the effect and relaunch the PixelGenius Toolbox. Instead, I clicked on the Show Batch Options checkbox. This revealed the Batch interface below. I then clicked on the Add button to add the Tone Enhance > Plus 1 Stop effect to the batch list. Next, I went back to the Set menu and selected the RSA Gray Balance Set. RSA Gray Balance Standard is the most effective tool to choose for most images. But to remove a strong cast such as the one in this photograph here, I selected the RSA Neutralize effect and clicked the Add button again to add the RSA Neutralize effect to the list. I then clicked OK to process the image.
PhotoKit Color 2.0 will process the image in the order the effects are listed in the Batch list. And here is the end result, which as you can see, shows a much improved photograph that has been lightened by 1 stop and where the yellow cast has been removed completely. The Layers palette will contain the effects as distinct layers or layer groups, so you can still vary the opacity of the layers and fine-tune the result.
