Be sure to check off as you go along.
A photograph may have a color cast, an overall color, that isn't wanted.
For example, light in shade is cyan (blue/green).
That's because the cyan-colored sky illuminates shade.
You can set the white balance to the shade icon to correct for the cyan color.
But, if you didn't do so, you can correct the color cast with the gray-point eyedropper.
The gray-point eyedropper is the middle eyedropper in the Layers window.
Create a Levels adjustment layer, or reopen its window by double clicking the Levels window thumbnail in the Levels adjustment layer.
To remove a color cast, do the following.
1) Click the gray-point eyedropper in the Levels window.
Look for the eye droppers on the right side, in the middle, of the Levels window.
The gray-point eyedropper is the middle eyedropper.
2) Click a gray area on the photograph that should be gray, with the gray-point eyedropper.
The gray area probably has a tint from the color cast.
That's okay.
Just be sure to select an area that should be gray after removing the color cast.
The photograph below is slightly too cyan (blue/green).
By clicking on the gray building in the background, with the gray-eyedropper tool, the cyan color cast was removed.

If there's no area that should be gray, go to Enhance > Adjust Color > Remove Color Cast.
Click on a white or black area.
You can probably find a gray area by eyeballing your photograph.
However, here are three methods that will guarantee that you've found a gray area.
