Step by Step instructions

Introduction

Photo Color Correction > Yellow Cast > Christina Aguilera > BeforePhoto Color Correction > Yellow Cast > Christina Aguilera > After

The original picture is gross. There is a terrible yellow cast. Actually the cast is predominantly yellow with green mixed in. It looks as if someone peed on her.

Below are the Adjustment Layers in Photoshop for the photo color correction of the Christina Aguilera picture.

The Adjustment Layers are shown in the order in which they were placed. If they are placed in reverse order, for example, the results will be different, and the final picture will not have the same level of quality.
