Color Balancing Photos for compositing
Hello all, I’m currently working on finishing up a project that is using a lot of still images that have been animated using After Effects CS5.5. I have been working with temp images and swapping them out with the master versions once they come in. My question is primarily concerning color balancing and correction using photoshop. In premiere and final cut I am used to using scopes to achieve white and color balance for video, but have not found a similar tool in photoshop to visually check rgb or cmyk balance of an image. I have been manually color balancing using adjustment layers, but that seems rather imprecise for what I need to achieve.
My question is: what is the best way to make sure that color and white balance is consistent across multiple images, besides flat-out completely de-saturating. Would photoshop be my best option for accurately correcting images for output in After Effects or is there another, better option (preferably low/no cost)? Fyi, I do not have Color Finesse.
Thanks in advance.

My question in this thread is specifically related to Photoshop’s color correction capabilities and if it has any tools to provide a reference for color. Any thoughts?
