Additive Color Balance

The Additive Color Balance tool is used to reduce or increase red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, or magenta of the dark, midtone, highlight, or all levels of an image.

* Min max apply and feather range sliders are used to fine tune the preset default dark, midtone, highlight, and all level preset ranges.

The goal of this example is to remove the yellow green hue from the background.

Step 1 - Open the image and the Color | Additive Color Balance Tool

Note the yellow green hue of the entire background.

Step 2 - Reduce Background Yellow Green

Select Dark in the Apply To Level drop list. Move the Yellow-Blue slider to the right to reduce the yellow green background. Adjust the min, max, and feather sliders to fine tune the color correction.
