250 CHAPTER 6 ERASING AND TOUCHING UP Figure 6-31. Sliding the Hue slightly to the left eliminates a lot of the magenta sky. Color Balance Layers . Colors . Color Balance is another tool for correcting color problems in photographs. Choose to modify Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights, then slide the sliders in the direction you want to go: in this case, away from Magenta (toward Green) and away from Blue (toward Yellow). Figure 6-32 shows the result. Caution A serious limitation of the Color Balance tool is the need to choose Shadows, Midtones,or Highlights. You must choose one, not a combination, and it s not always obvious which is best. In this case, Highlights seemed like the obvious choice, because the strongest magenta cast was in the brightest part of the clouds. Wrong! Choosing Highlights created a grainy texture in that region, whereas choosing Midtones gave nearly the same color balance but without the unwanted texture. When in doubt, use Midtones.
