Photoshop :: CS6 - Color Balance Adjustment Layer
May 24, 2012
I have a question about color balance. It seems it's the only one that the drag and drop doesn't work. It's my pc , or is the default?
I added 2 screenshots. i added a red arrow to let you see the mouse pointer in the first screenshot i can drag and drop (i'm not talking about the sliders) in the second screenshot , ONLY color balance (and it's very WEIRD ) i can not drag and drop.
I'm under w7 , tested under 64 and 32bit .don't know about mac.

Suddenly when applying a color balance adjustment layer I'm unable to click on the shadows, midtones, and highlights. They are each grayed out and I'm only given the option to apply the setting overall. I'm thinking I must have made some kind of setting change somewhere for this to happen.
The images are RGB 8bit color mode.

When I try creating a color balance adjustment layer is it opening a levels adjustment layer. I'm using the New Adjustment Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel. Is this a bug with CS6? How can I fix the problem?

I'm using 2 different images of 2 different people, and layer masking features from one person on to another. I tried using a Color Balance Adjustment Layer..
1. Should I be adjusting the midtones, shadows or highlights?
2. I added a little bit of red, is there ever a time when you might add add magenta or green to blend skin tone? What about yellow or blue?
3. Any other general tips for doing this?

I cannot get a color balance adjustment layer to come up. Every time I do photoshop creates a levels layer. Selecting levels makes a levels layer. All of the other adjustment layers seem to be working normally.
How do I fix this? I have a deadline and no time to be reinstalling photoshop.

I want to use a color balance layer with a vector mask to change the color of a shirt to come as close as possible to matching a particular color swatch. So, say the color swatch is RGB, 101, 164, 33
The color balance has the 3 sliders and I can adjust:
cyan -> red
magenta -> green
yellow -> blue
Is there a way of converting the RGB values (or CMYK values) from the swatch that is not trial and error that will tell me where to set the 3 color balance sliders to match the swatch color?

What I want to do is to have an adjustment layer that is a reversed, black and white image. I initially thought to merge B&W and reverse adjustment layers, but read that an adjustment layer may not be the target of a merge. Is the way to accomplish this to fiddle with the B&W adjustment layer sliders somehow?
I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?

I just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 5. I want to change the white balance (temp and tint) using local adjustment brush but when I take a new brush, all I can change is
1. Exposure
2. Brightness
3. Contrast
4. Saturation
5. Clarity
6. Sharpness
7. Color
The Temp and Tint buttons that should appear on the top of this tool are not present. As shown below....
Similarly, as per some youtube videos, in the Basic tools, I should get
1. Highlights
2. Shadows
3. Whites
4. Blacks
Instead I get
1. Recovery
2. Fill light
3. Blacks
As shown below.
Why is there such differences in the option? Is this because it is a trial version?

I have been using Lr 5.3 to adjust some RAW images. My Develope pane is now missing the pane for White balance, hue and also the pane for Exposure, Contrast, highlights etc adjustments. I don't know how this happened or how to restore them. I am using iMac.

I know you are all going to say "it depends on the lighting" or "there are different skin tones", but I just need a simple starting formula, of which I can edit to work with the lighting. I just need a simple, generic caucasian skin color "Color Balance" formula, which can be applied to a monochromatic image.

Have a photo of inside of bus, seat covers etc. Color comes out bold, very little black, I can't find a balance, where I have a fairly normal, but lighter black halftone, with an overlay of color.. (Old copy of PS 6) I know, ancient, but it works.

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with algorithm used to Color Balance.
I'm interested in automating a process which includes Desaturating and then Color Balancing.
I solved the Desaturation (take the highest number of R G B, divide by 2, apply to R G B values of pixle.)
I am curious to know how a pixle would be modified by say, +100 Blue in Lows/Mids/Highs

I use a lot of adjustment layers and they're often applied to the previous layer. Is there a keyboard shortcut to automatically "Use pervious layer as clipping mask" without going through the dialogue box or manually applying in the layers palette(Option-click between layers)?

I made a ring and I want to change the color using color balance. It's with particular, multiple copies with fast blurs applied to them to give the glow and it's all pre-composed with the particle layer. Now all I want is to change the color as a whole but color balance doesn't seem to work when applied to the pre-composed layer. I even tried color balancing the particle layer itself, made an adjustment layer and applied color balance on that.

First, a slightly long winded explanation. Shooting the creative family Christmas card this year in a Mini-Cooper (original 60's one). Basically set my lighting up and then shot individual members in the car to post them together. The only snafu - my 20 month old son wasn't exactly cooperating, so the 'good' photograph I have of him is in the drivers seat, and I wanted to move him in between us.
There were a few difficulties here. First, the light changed between originally shooting my wife (windshield was clear), as skies were blue, and when I took the photo of myself nearly an hour later (cloudy skies cast a glare on the windshield. I had a black scrim set up to the side which worked, but wasn't able to knock it out all together. So i faded the clear windshield from my wife's side over to my side with the glare, but I feel that looks fairly natural (or at least good enough for the Christmas card).
The trick comes with my son - I cut him out from where he was at the drivers seat (had to do some shoddy work on his shirt where the steering wheel blocked him), and put him in between us. However, it looks like his coloring is off from what we are - and I can't quite seem to get it right. Color balance is definitely not my strong suit in PS.

I work in crop research and have written a code to analyze an RGB image and determine if a pixel is senescence, crop, residue/soil, or shadow. However, this only works if the color is balanced in an image.
I do not know what the technical definition of balanced color is, but to me it relates to the RGB curves one can see in the curves mask. Over the last 5 years a colleague of mine has taken thousands of photos that I need to analyze with my system, unfortunately some have blue hues, some are overexposed, and some are just flat.
Is there any way to apply ratios or mathematical equations to the curves panel so that all images have a similar balance that will work with the code I wrote?
(below I included a few images to give you a feel for the variance)

I'm familiar with adjustment layers and clipping masks, but am wondering if there's a way to have an adjustment layer affect a group of layers below it, but not all of them. (Usually you have a choice of having it affect either JUST the layer beneath it (through a clipping mask), or ALL of the layers beneath it.

Some of the options in Layer>New Adjustment Layer are gray.
I don't know why I can't click them. I need to use Color Balance.

When you open an image with adjustment layers, what determines what is selected, the background or the adjustment layer? It seems sometimes it's one or the other, and I don't know the logic. Personally I would prefer that the image always opens with the background layer selected.

I learned from Scott Kelby's book on a technique to remove color cast.
What is the difference between color cast and correcting white balance?

As you can see by the spelling of "Colour", I'm outside the USA!
A bit of background: I graduated in photography a couple of years back and I've used PS6 and now PS7 quite extensively. I use an Epson 3200 scanner to scan my medium format (6x7) and large format (5x4) negs and trannies (that's FILM trannies...not the other kind!). If they are for exhibition, I'd burn them to CDROM and get a digital lab to print them for me otherwise they'd get printed on my Epson 760 (yes, it's quite old now!).
I've always had issues getting the screen calibrated. How would you guys go about correcting the relationship between the scanner/screen/printer? The screen is a Viewsonic E70 and I use the E70 profile.

I'm new to Paint shop. Is it possible to clip an adjustment layer or image to just the layer below it like in Photoshop? Or maybe Paint shop calls it something else?

Editing a video in LR4 you can capture a frame, adjust the color, and save a preset to apply to other videos. BUT the frame capture is a jpg so you can't specify a color temperature; you hve to use the slider(s) and cross your fingers. I have two consecutive videos, one shot with AWB and the other set to Shade. I need to adjust the AWB shot (very cool) to match the Shade shot (very warm). There are so many sliders, I can't even get close to matching them.

I am trying to use Color Balance and the window doesn't work. The only part that shows is the "Enhance Color Balance" box, the words "purple" and "green" just above, and the preview arrow (which does nothing) and "preview on image". Preview on image is checked and it does show changes but I am unable to uncheck it. Nothing else shows. Nothing I have tried has worked, including restarting the computer.

I'm running Revit Architecture 2012. I did a render and it looks fine in the default {3D} View. I selected to save it to the project and when I go to the renderings view to recall it, the color balance is all shifted off way way to the blue end. I tried going back over to render dialog and adjusting the white point all the way up, and it had the expected effect in the {3D} View (shifting everything to overblown orange), but nothing changed at all in the renderings View when I tried to resave it after making the adjustment.

What is wrong with my GIMP? This behavior persists in every 2.6 and 2.8 build I've tried, in fact I'm pretty sure I first discovered it somewhere in 2.4 .
It's GTK bug #644032 - certain adjustments made to the Hue-Saturation tool (with overlap) may have problems handling the red/magenta wraparound properly. Which was supposed to be fixed eons ago (and with exception of this one specific usecase, it already WAS - see GTK #527085).
It originally happened while trying to adjust the color balance on a scanned image containing ambiguously red/magenta hues (yes I know we have an actual tool for Color Balance, but I've never been able to quite wrap my head around what adjustments yield which results). I have attached a sample file demonstrating expected vs. actual results with this usecase. My GIMP is clearly screwing the pooch on these adjustments ... but HOW, because even when I browse the online git repo the relevant source code looks like it should work perfectly (I've even mentally stepped through it and verified correct results, unlike my actual GIMP).
Try performing the same adjustments on your GIMP (note which build and version) - do you get the same results I do?

When I use Adjust --> Color Balance and use the temperature slider the cool <---> warm seems to work as expected (i.e. my image becomes more blue to the left, more red to the right).
When I click the Advanced Options box, the slider labels are the same, but the behavior swaps: so the Cool label is still on the left, BUT when side the handle to the left, my image becomes more RED, & if I slide to the right (labeled warm) my image becomes more blue.
