- Decrease the Green values. The image appears decidedly green,
so click in the numerical value field next to the Magenta-Green
slider and enter a value of –10. This moves the Magenta-Green
slider to the right, away from green. The results are depicted
in Figure 6-11. The image has a lot of green objects, so it’s hard
to tell exactly where to stop in your attempt to remove the green-
based cast. But since the overall goal is to cool down the image,
we need to be judicious about contributing too much magenta,
so best to be conservative here.

- Increase the Blue values. The image is still too warm for my
taste, so cool it way down by moving the third slider all the
way to +40, thus increasing the blue value. You’ll notice in
Figure 6-12 that the wall behind the boys and the sofa color
are at last approaching a neutral gray.
