Slobodan:

Add an adjustment layer...color balance, I believe it's called.  Tweak until
it looks right.  If they all need the same adjustment, make an action that
does this and call it from the image processor.  Or, you can drag an
adjustment layer from one photo onto another one, and it will automatically
copy itself there.

Another way is to use the photo filter, but create your own.  Again, make it
an adjustment layer.  That way, you can easily copy it to other pictures.
Double click on the color instead of selecting the ready made one.  The
color picker comes up.  Click on your image on something that should be
neutral.  Now, reverse the signs on the a and b numbers in the lab info.  If
that's *too* neutral and sterile, adjust the opacity of the layer to taste.

Hope this helps.  Like Philippe said, it's far easier shooting RAW and then
doing the adjustments all at once before converting.  :)
