The actions in TLR Color Temperature Filters replicate the CT correction filters used by photographers for many years. CT filters are used to compensate for lighting, for example the bluish coloration associated with daylight films. They are also used to remove excessive blue casts from electronic flash.

The white balance controls in Camera Raw are superior for adjusting the white balance of a RAW image. The CT filter effects in this action set are excellent for adding a warming or cooling effect to an image.

The filter effects in this action set are precisely measured. They are designed for specific RGB Workspaces. You will find separate sets of actions for Adobe RGB, sRGB, ColorMatchRGB, and ProPhotoRGB. If you want to use these filter effects with other RGB Workingspaces, be careful to keep the gamma consistent.

You can combine CT corrections by applying the actions as a sequence of layers. Each action creates a separate Photoshop adjustment layer.

CT Filter Actions

There are 10 different actions for each RGB Workspace. Five different strengths (CT 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and Full) for both Orange and Blue filter effects.

All work is done non-destructively with layers. Adjustment layers are used to reduce resources. Each layer adds only a few hundred bytes to your image.
