What is a color correction? Images could need adjustment to either

colors, values or both. Photos can sometimes have a color SHIFT,

too much red or blue, etc. This is known as a COLOR CAST.

How can I access the color correction controls? IMAGE menu

Drag the arrows toward the color you want to add.
