>>527064Most modern cameras have an auto white balance setting that does pretty darn well. The original version of this shot looked like the camera was accidentally set on a specific white balance setting (probably an incandescent, if I had to guess, since that setting add a shit ton of blue and cyan and green to shots to counterbalance yellow/orange light). If you're shooting on a DSLR, make sure you're on auto white balance. If you're shooting on your phone or a little point and shoot camera, then you probably don't have many options.
If you have Lightroom or Photoshop, then correcting white balance is often easy. Lightroom has an auto correction that usually get's it 95% of the way there. If you're shooting raw images (as opposed to jpgs), then you can go nuts in correcting the white balance. If you're trying to correct a jpg like the one in this thread, you're more limited.
For this shot, the colors were crazy all over the place, so I did a shit ton more stuff than usual, but that was more just because I wanted to play around a bit and try some different things.
>create highlight luminosity mask>create shadows luminosity mask>make general WB adjustments in each layer>make individual RGB channel adjustments and contrast fixes in each layer>adjust individual hues and saturation levelsOf course, looking at this now on a different monitor, I still missed a shit ton of cyan color casts. Fuck cyan. Fuck it to hell.
tl:dr - if your camera has auto white balance, use it. if you have the ability to shoot raw, then do. get adobe lightroom if you want to start to learn to edit photos.
