DPP 3 - Exercise: Managing Colour

DPP 3 - Exercise: Managing Colour

• Find and use 2 or 3 images that have a sigficant colour cast.
• Make sure one image contains a surface that is known to be grey ie: concrete, steel, aluminium, car tyres, asphalt, thick clouds and shadows on white

 

I have made screenshots of each image that I am going to use, 2 images are taken from Assignment 2 - Seeing like your camera (as my tutor suggested that they had slight colour casts to them - having reshot the images - I know see that he was right ;-)

I took this image of my son having fun on his scooter, I deliberately choose the wrong white balance setting so that it would show a blue colour cast.

 

 

Other features of this image is the concrete ground that he is scooting on

 

 

Using the concrete and the WB tool in raw - I corrected the colour, made a slight contrast adjustment and also cropped the image so that my son was off centre.

 

The following 2 images are those taken from DPP Assignment 2 Seeing like your camera (that were in need of colour cast removal)!

 

Screenshot of shoes and makeup - Every girls must haves!

 

 

I found this image a little trickier to adjust - but I think I have managed it!  The original image definately had a magenta cast to it and I believe that I have removed that by making the following adjustments: I changed the white balance setting in raw, I also slightly adjusted the levels and hue/saturation.

 

The next image is also from DPP Seeing like your camera - Wedding headgear.

 

 

 

Again the original image had a slight magenta colour cast to it - here in the 2nd image I have tried my best to remove it, by changing the WB setting in raw and then slightly adjusting the brightness.
