Color Cast Correction
Along with the White Point Setting, the Color Cast setting assures accurate color rendition in the image.

I intentionally introduced a color cast to the image on the left and corrected it using individual color channels in the Curves dialog box as shown on the previous page. The correction appears subtle, but look at how the grays in the launch tower of the corrected image on the left are more neutral. Also, the blue of the sky is more pure and saturated. The high portion of the sky in the uncorrected image loses some of it saturation due to the overabundance of red, which has been removed in the corrected image.
