Use the color sampler tool. It's with the eyedropper. Find a reference
point on the image (like something that would be gray if it wasn't
tinted blue in your example). Click there with the sampler tool. The
Info window will now show the RGB values for that spot. Make an
adjustment layer for color balance or levels or curves or whatever, and
you'll see the new value in the Info window, next to the old value.
