Rather than doing it manually, though, just Option or Alt click on the word Auto and it’s very easy to fix color cast. This is just a simple, easy way to fix issues and it all ties to the Curves adjustment. And what that did was balanced out the image, finding the nice neutral grays, and removing some of the white balance issues, and lighting issues that were caused in this photo from the way that it was shot, and the way that the sun was positioned. If I click OK, come over here and look at the curves, you’ll see that the blue channel lifted while red and green are actually pressed down. In this case, it evaluated each channel separately, red, green, and blue. When you choose this, you’ll notice that color cast issues tend to be cleaned up and it just does a great job. But the important choice here is Snap Neutral Midtones. These work nicely on a contrasting image that has good punch. This is going to bring up a new dialog and what I want you to look at is this option called Enhance Per Channel Contrast, or Monochromatic Contrast.

One of the things I like to suggest is to hold down the Option key or Alt key here and click on the word Auto.

For example, if I pull the red up or down, you see how I can start to balance that image out. Now, you could, of course, go after this manually, adding a Curves adjustment, and then switching to each channel.
