The Color Corrector has a "Remove Yellow Cast" preset that could use and modify for other colors.

How blue? Color casts are generally simple to fix. However, if you're really messed up, then the information for the color that is casting will be clipping, and other information will be missing. If that's the case, you'll never get it back.

There are numerous ways to solve the problem. The sloppy and quick way is to lay media generated color over the entire thing and adjust it to it's complementary color. This is effectively the same as shooting with a filter on the lens (barring any clipping or other image issues).

Another way is to bring up the color corrector, grab to -eyedropper under the shadow wheel and pick up a color from the image that is supposed to be black. Then do the same for white, and finally grab the -eyedropper under the mid tones and point it at something that should be gray. This method will require a bit more tweaking, but it allows for the fact that sensors are not always as sensitive to color in different luma ranges as we might like.

It is also helpful to understand how ot use the RGB Parade in concert with these tools so as to be able to know when the image is actually color balanced properly.

Yes, that AAC plug in is terrific. Sadly, it seems as if it's not getting any more development. I don't have 9.0e. I've been resisting doing yet ANOTHER upgrade. Maybe it's time.

I just installed the AAC plug-in ...shouldn't I be able to see it in effects?
Thanks very much,

On my machine, in both Pro 8 & Pro 9, it's the very first item in the Video FX tab.
BTW, it's AAV, not AAC, just in case someone goes looking for it.

Thanks Mike,
It's not there on mine even after trying to reinstall and selecting "repair".
I installed the 64 bit version and I have a 64 bit PC ...BUT use the 32 bit version of V8 pro...could that be the problem...I need the 32 bit version to go with 32 bit V8?
Thanks again,
Randy

Randy, that would be my guess.
His site says "The x86 and x64 versions should be able to live side-by-side on your system" so you should be OK with both of them installed.
