Re: Digital Darkroom Suggestion ??

Hi spl,

I like what you did with the crop and straightening but the image is still a bit yellow for me. I'd like to see what doing a white balance using the scale on the counter would look like.

Jim

I've already tried that Jim, it brings up the scales lovely, but the rest is still very yellow. I suspect the lighting in the shop is of the sodium type. I've always found it impossible to do much with it. The only other thing is that this may be a scan from a print, which I doubt would help

Stephen,

I tried it and I got rid of nearly all the yellow color. I was reluctant to post the image back without asking spl. Spl, is it OK if I do that?

Hi,
I went back to the original when I tried the white balance thing. If you started with the second image that may be the difference.

Re: Digital Darkroom Suggestion ??

The mono does nothing fo me it just makes an interesting picture look dull. I like the adjustment you have made to the picture overall.

2nd edit. I am referring to the first fishing picture. I hadn't noticed the shop one when I wrote the comment.

Please feel free to do what you like with the pic including posting it back here - I would be interested to see your result because I agee it is still a bit yellow.

Re: Digital Darkroom Suggestion ??

Hi spl,

I downloaded the original and worked with that. Using Paint Shop Pro XI, I did a little straightening, cropped, and then used the Color Balance tool with the scales on the shelf as the white point. Here's what I ended up with.

That is excellent yes - just goes to show there are many very good programmes out there
