erixphoto Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi, I'm relatively new to Photonet, but I've been reading for a long time. I have a small sports photography business that speacilizes mostly in martial arts. Last weekend I shot a benefit in a gym with a really yellow floor. Shots came out great but with a yellow glow. White balance appears dead on. I'm looking for any suggestions for a good post process for removing the yellow. I've tried color balance, and blue, cooling filters. I'm using CS2. Thank you for any help..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs1 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 What does it look like if you adjust the white-balance for natural skin-tones and don't try to make the shirt white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mounier Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think I would try a Hue Saturation adjustment layer. Lower the saturation of the yellow. You might also be able to improve the color with the Hue slider. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erixphoto Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 It looks better. Maybe, I'll just have to live with some glow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erixphoto Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Bingo, used the Hue Saturation slider and lowered the yellow saturation... Thank You!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_rutter Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 It looks like the type of scene where it is very hard to get the white balance looking natural, because of the blue sunlight streaming in the window and the yellow indoor lights. The white balance chosen seems to compensate for the blue sunlight, knocking out a lot of blue. It's hard to adjust for natural skin tones in this because one side of her is lit by the blue sunlight and the other side is lit by the yellow indoor lights. Also, the red channel is blown out on her nose and the right side of her face. You could probably fix it better if you have it in RAW. I tried to adjust the white balance a bit, but I think that in times like this where daylight is fighting with indoor light it is largely personal preference.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_rutter Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Wow that last one of yours (DSC_0536sm3.jpg) looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric merrill Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 That still looks a little yellow to me. I'd suggest using the selective color filter, select yellow, and then reduce yellow to taste. Sorta like this:<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
