This tutorial shows you how to fix the color of a photo when all the original color is lost, it works well on an extreme case like our example. If you are just dealing with a common color cast, here are 4 ways to fix it in Photoshop.<\/a>\u00a0This example image (from Adobe Stock) is a perfect example. This image has 2 different colored gels, which creates a nice cyberpunk look.<\/p>\n

If you want to restore the original colors this used to be very difficult. but not any more. If you have done any work as a designer or retoucher, you are going to be asked to do this at some point in your career.<\/p>\n

Removing the color, allows you to see the tones clearly. They are muddy.<\/p>\n

Press Ctrl\/Cmd+L for levels (Don’t use an adjustment layer – you won’t hear me say that often).<\/p>\n

Move the white slider (triangle) to the left to clean the highlights, it should be where the pixels start on the histogram as pictured.<\/p>\n

Nudge the gray mid-tone slider a little to get the contrast you desire.<\/p>\n
