 |  
				| Hi, I was wondering how to adjust colors in an entire picture based on a reference in the picture?
 For example, if the photo is a bit dull, can I get the eye dropper and say 'this color here is supposed to be maximum-red'
 
 'this is maximum white'
 
 and PS auto adjusts everything for me?
 
 I've seen professional photographers do something like this. They have a real-life palette of colors which they place in-front of the camera and take a photo of it, and then they can just tell the computer what the correct colors are and this helps give them a consistent result.

				| Try using the black-white-grey eyedroppers in Curves or Levels. |  |
