For the benefit of others, could you explain how you did this?

Thank you.

HiYelvertoft - sure.

Open pic in PS
Click - Image - Adustments - Curves
In the Curves box click Channel and select Red.
Grab center of graph bar and pull it gently down at 90degs to form a slight curve. you will see the Red Cast slowly dissapear (but maybe not quite enough to suit you) - accept this OK.

Open Image - adjustments - Hue and Saturation. - select Red Channel
Useing the Saturation Channel adjust until you remove the last of the Red cast and the result pleases you.

Go Back to the Curves Box and useing the RGB channel - hold the graph bar in the center and either bow iot up or down to get the density of pic you like.

First time I have tried to explain it - probably as clear as mud - but if you have any questions feel free.

Regards

Just one other thing that springs to mind - if you were useing RAW you would adjust the Color Temperature before you opened it as a Jpeg.

The most common color cast which needs this treatment is the Green one you get in Woodland Scenes - and the method I have tried to descibe above useing the Green Channel instead of Red will enable the Fawns and Browns to appear more natural.
