It’s summer and pet photographers everywhere are cursing the green color cast that is showing up on the white fur of the dogs they are photographing. Luckily, there is a super quick and easy fix….

What is the purpose of duplicating the background layer? Since a hue/sat adjustment layer was used, and it comes with the mask to paint the adjustment only where you want it, I was confused by duplicating the background layer when nothing was done to it. Doesn’t that just add to your file size?
Hi CJ, sorry for the super late reply!!! I like to have the adjustment layer as an insurance policy of sorts. If I totally screw it up I can just delete it and my file is still complete below. I don’t worry about file size as I flatten as soon as I do what I need to do and just save as a jpg. I’m not touching these files again after I edit them the first time.
Nicole, thank you SO much for this video – I’ve been struggling for a week and was ready to give up and let my dogs stay green forever… You saved them and my sanity 🙂
yeah!
