To quickly correct color cast toward blue, which adjustment should you apply?

• A. Auto Color
• B. Hue/Saturation
• C. Photo Filter
• D. Color Balance

Answer: (A)

Auto Color quickly fixes color cast by automatically balancing the color channels so neutral tones look neutral. When a blue tint is present, it analyzes the overall image and adjusts the red, green, and blue levels to reduce that tint, giving a more natural balance with little effort. Other tools require more manual tweaking: Hue/Saturation shifts colors globally and can distort tones; a Photo Filter adds a color layer that you must choose and tune; Color Balance lets you manually push toward warmer hues, which takes more steps and careful adjustment.
