photo editing - How do I correct the huge blue-shift in these images?


I recently inherited a lot of images with a lot of blue on them (attached below)

I would like to correct this, get the natural colours. I am just aware it was taken using a Nikon D60 18-55 VR lens, not aware of the settings, but can find out.


Are there any tutorials to correct such photos?

I'm not sure how much they can really be rescued - there's one heck of a lot of blue in there & very little of anything else.


Applying a Levels Layer & pushing the mid-point of each colour by eye to where it's at its strongest will restore it a little, but it doesn't look very natural.


Quick attempt, each colour set in the same way, just by eye & very quickly. You can probably get better than this, but an image with more points of interest might give you a better chance - people, buildings etc...
If they've all been treated initially by exactly the same process, then you could eventually automate this.

The end result is likely to be noisy, it's really pushing things quite a long way.
