Removing a cast from a ref photo

Very short bonus video for you. Sometimes the ref photos we get are lovely but the colours just are way off. This one you can see that it's really blue - and of course with black fur, we do have a tendency to be a little too blue most of the time (you're told time and time again don't use black, use blues and reds - but then inevitably what happens, and I've done it myself, you end up with a blue labrador rather than a black one).

Do adding yellow and green hues makes a massive difference. 

I've used lightroom - you can get the lightroom photoshop package for $9 a month I think and it is so worth it! Gimp is a free editing software but it's clunky and tricky.

I use photoshop as well, haven't gotten into lightroom yet. I have spent a few years trying to learn, it is a wonderful program with endless options, in my opinion making it difficult to find the tools you need in a given situation. There is another free photo editor that I love, that is Xnwiev , from https://www.xnview.com/en/ , a lot less complicated, but plenty good enough for editing ref photos. And I will be glad to help within your community, if needs be!
