I am transitioning from a PSE user to a CS3 user and loving it. I have even happily been able to use the PSE organizer so far with both.

However there is one tool in PSE I cannot find in CS3. I have searched and saw there are a few places where CS3 has some simmilar settings, but nothing that seems to be as easy to use or gives the same results.

Is there a plug-in somehwere that provides this in CS3? For those times when I just want to do a quick color correction, I love that tool in PSE. I tried the detailed methodology of using curves/levels, click this, etc…etc… and although it does eventually get there, results are for sure different and it is more involved. Again, don’t mind this if I am spending hours in CS3 working on a bunch of shots from a shoot, but if I just want to color-correct a batch of shots, is there a better way?

Of course I am speaking here of when I am shooting JPEG not RAW. Thanks,
BJBBJB

Not sure exactly what tool you are looking for. If you want to correct a bunch of shots from a shoot with all the same correction you can use an action. On first image start Record do the adjustment and then click stop. On the next ones just click play and it will run through the steps automatically. See help file on action for details.

Use the curves tool, take the gray dropper and click on what should be a neutral gray in your image.
This works about 99% of the time for jpegs, presuming there is a reasonable gray in the image.
Presumably you realize that the data in a jpeg is limited and you need to be judicious in making post camera adjustments.

The tool I am looking for is in PSE where you can click on a white or black section of the picture and it will auto-color correct for that.

Yes I have tried auto color adjustment, however with the cast color correction, you can click on different areas of the picture that are white/near/white, etc. or back/near black until you can get a nice color mix.

And thanks, certainly once you get the correct color layer adjustment and action or drag and drop would work.

I was just wondering if there was something similar. Certainaly CS3 has tons more control and options for getting to the same place. That tool was just nice when you wanted to do a quickie fix and nothing more.

You can do it with the eyedropper tools in the Levels or Curves dialogs.
