Color Corrections - Problem Photos

I can usually remedy color issues by tweaking with PS adjustments or NIK filters but lately there have been a few with color shifts that are beyond my ability/toolkit to correct. Can anyone suggest other plug-ins or techniques that fix particularly problematic color issues? I'd sure appreciate some help!

I need to get outside so will check back later this afternoon.

Do you use Lightroom and/or Viveza Kathleen?

Greg, I don't have Lightroom but I do use the adjustment filters in PS CS6. I do have Viveza but haven't tried it for this issue. Does Viveza correct color shifts?
ETA: In addition to PS filters, I've tried NIK's Brilliance/Warmth, Remove Color Cast, Pro Contrast, Contrast Color, White Neutralizer, etc.

With Viveza you can adjust Warmth, Red, Green, Blue and Hue for the image as a whole, or locally with control points. Lightroom is easier and less tedious, but I think Viveza should work for you with some experimenting.

Edit: Those other filters (e.g., white neutralizer, etc.) in the Nik package can be quite useful as well.

I find going under image tab - adjustments - color balance in PS fixes some color issues. It adjusts magenta, cyan,yellow,blues, greens, reds. Usually a slight increase or decrease in one or more of the sliders does the trick. Actually, clicking auto color or auto tone sometimes works pretty good too, but not always.

Well, I just tried Viveza on one image and it did a much better job than anything else I tried. Thank you, Greg!

You're welcome. Good luck. :)

Mark, I tried all the usual color correction filters in PS and usually that's all I need if the color just needs a small tweak but these files are really off. The one I just adjusted with Viveza isn't perfect yet but it's way better.
