How to add back warm sunshine..
Using digital cameras they do, I find, try to overcompensate for Auto-White
Balance, such that slightly sunny scenes become quite 'white' when viewed. What do I need to adjust slightly to bring back the 'warm' look. Is it red gamma, or red levels or combinations of various levels of red and green , (using Photoshop 7) Thanks for any help |

Normally, you shoot something pure white or pure gray with the ambient light, and then set that as the custom white balance mark. However, if you want to fudge it, shoot something that is not pure white or pure gray. Try something the opposite of what you are trying to do. For example, if you are trying to "warm" the scene, then set a custom white balance on a card that is pale blue. If you are trying to "cool" the scene, then shoot a pale pink or yellow. It doesn't take much. ---Bob Gross--- |

I think PS:CS (PS8) has CC filter simulation, I don't know if PS7 does (I can't find it). -- Martin Francis http://www.sixbysix.co.uk "Go not to Usenet for counsel, for it will say both no, and yes, and no, and yes...." |

So you could, for example, go into Curves, choose the blue channel, and pull it down a tiny bit. It won't take much. -- Jeremy | |
