ran across this on itunes under the ‘Adobe Creative Suite Video Podcast’. You want to get the ‘Color correct your image like a pro in Photoshop’ video. It uses curves, but in a way you can’t screw up. Myself I used print screen, and copied the card, and stuck the color card in my photoshop images directory.
Basically what you do is fire up curves with this color card loaded, then set up the 3 eye droppers using the card.
Then with a messed up image, you take the card itself, create a curves layer, and add this cards curves layer to the bad image and it adjusts everything. You can still tweak with curves but very little tweaking is necessary.
Would be nice to find a way to batch use this color correction method. I used it on some really nasty pix, those left in the sun too long and they all came out great.
