Using Camera RAW in Photoshop CS
as Your Digital Darkroom, page 14
Adjusting the color tone of shadows
The Shadow Tint slider works with the White Balance value set on the Adjust tab panel. After a
white balance is set, a tinted color cast can still remain in the shadowed portions of a photo.
Move the slider left to increase the greenish cast of shadows, move the slider right to make the
shadows redder. If you hold down the Alt/Option key while moving the slider, a threshold view of
the shadows in the image indicates whether some shadowed areas are getting lost.
Calibrating the color channels
The Red Hue/Saturation, Green Hue/Saturation, and Blue Hue/Saturation sliders adjust the actual
colors in the image. Use these sliders to adjust skin tones or any other image colors until they
appear right to your eye. Don’t forget that you have the power of Photoshop at your fingertips
after opening the image. You don’t need to do all your adjustments using the Camera Raw interface.
If a color cast doesn’t look right after the image is opened in Photoshop, use the commands on the
Image>Adjustments menu to help out.
Saving Your Settings
Once you have the settings adjusted to your satisfaction, you can save them for
future use. To save your settings:
- Click the arrow at the right side of the Camera Raw dialog box and choose Save Settings
as shown in Figure 11.
