I do not have the big photoshop, so I can't adjust the colors like he can. I went to enhance - adjust color - adjust hue/saturation. I clicked on the dropdown and picked the color that I didn't like, in my case it is usually yellow, and I desaturated that color until the skin tone looked normal and matched his edit. Sometimes I have to mask out the background if I want yellow to remain in it. I think it is easier in CS4.

But yes, I have a Canon and struggle with yellow casts. I don't know if it is a Canon thing though, or something else I am doing wrong.

Hope this helps.

FYI

You can also use filters if your program does not have the white balance adjustments.
