Photo Editing Variable

Colorcast Correction

Colorcast correction controls how strongly unwanted tints from lamps, walls, and mixed light sources are neutralized. The scale moves from preserving the original atmosphere to fully neutral color.

Blue color casts are normally removed at every level because they rarely contribute positively to the image.
