Hello Everybody,
I have PS6 on Win98SE.

I have a home made video CD. I have to capture still images of some people from the video and repair them with PS for printing. The problem is that the video has not been shot very well. Many people have yellow shades on their faces in it.
What will be the best tool to remove these yellow shades? I just want suggestions.

Thank you,

Syed,

What will be the best tool to remove these yellow shades?

Assuming you have found a way to capture the video frames as still images for use in Photoshop, there are several Photoshop tools for removing the yellow shades. If the yellow shades are an overall color cast, you could use Image> Adjustments> Color Balance. Move the Yellow/Blue slider from the default middle position twoard the Blue end of the slider. Check Preview so you can watch the effect on your image.

If just the faces of the people have the objectionable yellow cast, use one of Photoshop’s selection tools (I seem to use the Polygonal Lasso tool a lot) to select the faces areas. When using the Polygonal Lasso tool I usually then smooth the boundaries of my selection with Select> Modify> Smooth… and apply a few pixels of smoothness. Then I use Select> Feather… to apply a few pixels of feathering. That will keep the boundaries of your color balance modification from becoming obvious in your image.
