You've got the perfect composition, great light and the shot that looks really good on your mini LCD. But when you import the shot, you realize that it has the most common issue – color cast. This article is all about color cast – what causes color cast, and how to prevent and remove it. Read on to know more.
The unwanted color tint – predominantly red, blue or yellow– that splashes across the photograph is called a color cast. This tint of a particular color makes the image looks unnatural with colors that are not true-to-life. This can adversely affect the part of your image and can arise due to various reasons, including shooting under the wrong type of light or wrong settings on your camera.
Colorcast occurs when the white balance is off or when the lighting prevents the camera from capturing the true colors. In color cast images, the overall composition of the picture and the colors do not gel harmoniously. All these factors leave the photo not at its attractive best and definitely not the way it was imagined.
Colorcast is actually the difference between what you see in the image and what you expected to see. The camera records light in a fixed way, which the human brain does not. The human brain has the knowledge of how the colors should be and interprets the colors accordingly. For example, when we see a white wall under a yellow light, our brain interprets the wall as white and not yellow. But when he camera sees this wall, it measures it as yellow.
Usually, the white-balance system tries to make the yellow wall look white in the image, but sometimes it can fail because of mixed lighting or when the target is not entirely white.
Color cast is a very common problem, but fortunately, there are simple tricks that can help you avoid color cast in your real estate photos.
You can remove the color casts from your real estate photos by editing them in Photoshop. It is a simple process, involving a few steps as follows:
Step 1: Open the image in Photoshop
Step 2: Click on the background layer
Step 3: Create a duplicate copy by pressing Ctrl-J
Step 4: Click on the menu, then follow Filters– Blur – Average to have a single color layer
Step 5: Go to the Layers panel tool icons at the bottom. To insert curves adjustment layer, click the half-moon and select Curves
Step 6: Choose Color from the blending mode drop-down menu
Step 7: On the left side of the Curves panel, three eye drop icons will appear. Click on the middle icon to set the gray point
Step 8: Click anywhere on the single color layer
Step 9: Click on the eye icon which is on the left of the single color layer to turn it off or delete that layer as it is no longer needed
Step 10: Enjoy your image free from colorcast
