Hi,

I have a couple of pictures with slight Magenta hues to them, and was wondering what is the best way to remove them. As an example, I have a picture with a lot of ice in it (covering buildings), and the ice instead of being white, is moving towards purple.

I have tried playing around with different settings (colour balance, saturation etc) but I want to make the ice more white and all I end up doing is making it green.

Any tips and suggestions would really be helpful.

Many thanks in advance.

Not sure hot to make it appear here, but an example is here…

Note, the frost on the grass should be a nice frosty white, but is creeping towards a Cadbury chocolate purple.

looks like your exposure was set for the sky…
copy background… select the sky.. (I used the Magic Wand Tool with Add To Selection highlighted at tolerance 40 with all the boxes UN-checked till all the sky was selected) held down Alt key while clicking the mask symbol on the Layers pallet.. clicked the image next to mask to deselect mask then… Image…adjustments…Levels… select the Set White Point dropper… I clicked the large white area on the roof to the left of the statue… the frost on the ground is in shadow and will not be white.. But, if you want it brighter then you can click on another area in the image that you think should be white and see how it looks…Tis all subjective anyway… Saved As…

Take a look at this. I spent about ten minutes in
Photoshop. Used three layers. One to keep the sky
where it is. One to brighten the under exposed
rest of image. one to correct the color in the
snow. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.
Maybe your original idea was to have everything
but the sky underexposed. That’s what is so great
about photography, it is up to the individual to
determine what it correct.
