How to Remove Extreme Photo Red Cast and Salvage Old Images 

Thank you!

Thank you!

Fantastic and thank you!

Good to hear!

Hmm. That may or may not be salvageable. It depends on the specific image. You can try creating a curves adjustment layer and working on that. PixImperfect and Phlearn both have good videos showing how to use curves adjustment layers.

Thank you!

That's fantastic!

That will be a bit harder. Try duplicating the background layer then masking off one side with one color-shift. Right click --> feather --> some high number to maximize overlap. Then duplicate that. Repeat the process for the other half. Then work with each of those layers individually to correct the colors. The feathering ought to have the benefit of allowing the corrected overlaps to blend. It might take some refinement, but that approach is how I'd start.

We have some slides that are all very red and this didn't help to get rid of the red at all. Thanks any way

BLUF: you'll want to check out a channel that specializes in your video software. That's a tough one. I don't do much serious video editing. If you haven't had it digitized, you would want to try and coordinate the digital format with whatever video editing software you use. If you have had it digitized, then you're kinda stuck and will need to do what you can. I'm not a video editing guru at all and the different softwares out there have different capabilities. Davinci Resolve, for instance, is super powerful and could definitely do it through color correction. Movie Studio 17 Platinum could probably do a lot but would not be as powerful. So your video software really determines your results. To that end, each major video software has at least one YT channel with a host who focuses on it. Whichever channel focuses on your software would be the best source for help.

Thank you and Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Hmm, not sure why they'd turn red. It could be a printer setting or a photo editor setting.

Is this really ten years old already? Wow. I was using Photoshop CS4 back then. Any later version of Photoshop will have the same capabilities. Most other photo editors can do this but with different names for similar functions.

Thank you! I have a bunch of photographs, like you did, however I am wondering if you can think of someone I can send them to for the cleanup? Happy New Year and thank you again. @@DavidHancock

@@cathymartin2970 Thank you and I don't know of anyone specifically but there are some talented freelancers on Fiver that might be able to do this.

Thank you! Check out my recent video on scanning 35mm slides with a DSLR. That would give you a better option with more editing flexibility than a scanner would.

Thank you! For motion, I don't know how to do this but I would be shocked if Davinci Resolve cannot do it. I don't know all of Casey Ferris' back catalog, but he may have a video on this or something similar to it. Color grading is likely the tool to use in that software.

Honestly, even if I knew how to do it for video, I wouldn't tell anyone. I mean, it's super creepy that people would try to do that. And any RU-vidr who teaches people how to edit video like people are wanting for this should have their channel suspended.

@@climaxtv5488 ong, aint nobody told them to record themselves like tha🤣

@@6ix365 well you see, they covered themselves to where you can’t see them. you literally only see a black sillouete. not the actually person. say you were doing something like that and somebody leaked ur nudes. how tf would you feel? and the have it posted on some website for strangers, adults, minors to look at. fucking disgusting. so why don’t you shutup and go outside loser.

@@pisscake6390 Im a loser? you the bih tryna tell me its my fault them bitches wanna show themselves without clothes. If they minors then why tf they een posting tha type shi anyway? Even if it was just supposed to be a shadow or whateva tha shi called 🤣 nobody forced them to do shi. They reap what they sew🤷🏽‍♂️.

lmao this is a video from several years ago. why are you bringing a tiktok problem here?

Oh gosh I wish I could. I haven't used GiMP is more than a decade, however.

Possibly, yes. I had never thought of that. That's a really great idea.

Thank you! I do not have one on removing green cast, but the process ought to be similar. You may have good luck in curves by increasing the magenta channel.

I was using Photoshop CS6 (maybe CS4 at the time I filmed this video, but I'm on 6 now.) I don't recommend Photoshop any more, however. I have no problems with their software -- it's amazing. Their subscription-based pricing model is my issue and I don't believe that software should be a subscription, except for rare exceptions.

Thanks for the reply. I thought is was Photoshop but was not sure.

Mask out that part of the frame, duplicate the layer, and de-saturate the red channel until it looks good. PixImperfect will probably have a tutorial on how to do that well.

Thank you!

Photoshop

Thank you!

This is a software-based process so it would depend on the software on our phone.

Thank you!

I would think so, but I've never used Premiere so I'm not sure how to do it.

Fair point. I think I felt that using the entire screen of my PS interface would be enough.

Yes

I don't have the bandwidth to work on photos, but the steps in this video should provide a good process for correcting the tinting.

There's only so much that can be done with a 60+ year-old slide.

Certainly looks a lot cleaner! I had some old photos in this batch, I think, of Notre Dame before it was cleaned in the 1970s to remove all the built-up car exhaust fumes. It looks a lot better now.

Thank you!

They can be. It depends on how much red there is in the source and how much correction you'd like to apply. This isn't a be-all and end-all process, but hopefully is a guide to get you on the right track. Also, monitors are a bit different, so it's always a good idea to refine processes to suit what you see.

@@DavidHancock Yes. And it also depend on one's choice. It's all subjective. Great tutorial by the way.

🤫🤫🤫

This is the second comment today about that. I'm definitely missing something.

@@DavidHancock people on the app 'tiktok' are doing a challenge with a red filter where they film naked. Some perverted people are trying to remove the red filter to see them naked pretty much.

@@hurden ... Well, that's not what I was expecting.

@@DavidHancock yeah it sucks

Pervert..You wanna use it o Silhouette Challenge

@@mazipita3268 What's a silhouette challenge?

My video editing skills are not anywhere close to good enough to do this on video.

Really.

Why though? You do that all the time or is it just a phase?

Really really really sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Did you meet David Bowie before he died?

@@Rhone1 I wasn't as good at audio back however many years ago when I made this video.

LOL. I love the round numbers, too.

Thank you

How does Photoshop do that?
