Exercise 13-Managing Colour

For this exercise I needed to alter the colour cast on two pictures.  It was recommended to use one that had a dominate grey area on it.  For both photographs I found a grey area that I could use, the first was a cycle path and the second a rock face.

For both photographs I used the grey dropper in lightroom with the JPEGs.
These are the results:

In this shot the first version is the 'as shot'.  I used the grey dropper and sampled the road for the second shot.  The effect is a warmer version that has more orange in it.  Although I quite like it I think that it may look a little artificial compared to the original.

The second shot had a more subtle result.  Once again I sampled the grey area and and the colour adjustment was to take out a little of the warmth of the first.
