Applying Minor Corrections with a Curves Adjustment Layer
Okay, enough scientific stuff, let's have some fun with Photoshop.
In the following exercise, you will place two Color Samplers in the image, one for the highlight and the other for the shadow. Then you will create a Curves Adjustment Layer and correct the colors in the image using the numbers in the Info palette as your guide. Your goal in this exercise is to remove any color cast in the whites and shadows, thereby correcting the colors within the entire tonal range.
