Photoshop Tutorial: Color Balance Using Levels
Bair Art Edition's Tutorial on:Adjusting Color & ExposureIn Adobe Photoshop Solving Color and White Balance Problems: Using Levels Levels can be a useful tool for color correction in general, and is my favorite for correcting White Balance.

As you know, to slice a PSD you start by grabbing the Slice Tool (C) and drawing a box around the area that you want to export as a standalone image.
