PHOTOSHOP COLOR CORRECTION TECHNIQUES AND TUTORIALS
One of my favorite tools that I use on regular basis is the Curves Adjustment tool, which not only helps me in creating desired contrast, but at the same time it allows me to color correct my images. I use this tool instead of widely used Color Balance Adjustment tool. This tutorial will teach you how to use this tool to color correct photos efficiently.
Introduction
As time goes by Photoshop developers add the newest, baddest, tricked out functions to the Worlds coolest software for digital imaging. Each new edition comes with newer tools, more presets and better interfaces which allow beginning users to learn Photoshop quickly and efficiently. With these new tools many users forget about the ever-present tools that are still a standard in the professional field.
The Color Balance Adjustment tool gives me limited options when it comes to correcting my images, whereas the Curves Adjustment tool allows me to color correct specific areas of the image without affecting the rest of the image (ex. I want to color correct my shadows, but I want to leave my midtones unaffected). Lets get to work then!
This technique is a contrast/tone and color correction technique all in one. Once you run through this, you will see how just about any image can be improved and you will use this technique many times over. For a number of years, this was just about the only correction technique that I used.

The first illustration is an image that I snapped during a trip to the amazing city of Hong Kong. As you can see, the image is lacking a bit of contrast and also has a slight color cast to it. It's really not that bad (or is it?), but just looks somewhat dirty. You will soon see a huge difference in image quality. You can download this image to work with during the tutorial, or pick an image of your own.
Setting the black point. Choose a Levels adjustment layer from the layers palette. We are now going to set the black and white points in the levels settings. In the Levels dialog box double click the Set Black Point tool as shown at left.
Black point settings. You will see a color picker. Set everything to solid black and then change the setting under "B" to 5, as shown at left (this sets the black point to 95% black). Click OK.
Setting the white point. Double click the Set White Point tool, which is the white eyedropper. In the color picker, set for pure white and then enter 95 into the "B" setting as shown. The white point is now set to 95% white.

Finding shadows. We are now ready to perform the image correction. What we are going to do is click the Set Black Point tool in the darkest part of the image and the Set White Point tool in the lightest part. Locate the darkest part of the image. Hold down the Alt (Option on Mac) key and as you move the shadow slider to the right, the image should turn white. As you move the slider you will see some areas start to show through. This is the Black Point threshold, as shown at left. The areas that start to show are the darkest areas of the image.
