Very nice Scott, though I must say many of your images have a colour cast. Might end up being known as the infamous "unix colour cast".

yeah... WB was very difficult with this image...

Is it a bit to green for your tastes... it seemed a very small change in the green-magneta pushed it either way...

What would you change?

Scott, seems a bit blue to me but skin tones always seems a bit yellow with a touch too much red. I wouldn't try and guess it, maybe calibrate your monitor (and work) with a spyder. Not easy being a unix pioneer :wink:

Scott,

I'd be looking at the wb first of all. This looks like it was taken in the shade, and shade scenes, and especially with a predominance of white in the image, will tend towards this sort of cast.

So, warm up the wb a tad, and see where that leaves your.

I think using "selective colour" and reducing cyan works well in this case...

I don't see much of a difference there, Gerard.

Yeah, the WB has issues there. It's odd. The snow has a blue caste and the skin has a very yellowish caste.

It might be worth it trying a Windows WB program for this pic, Scott.

That said... I did this when I was 8 or 9.

Our first visit to the snow we me, my brother Michael, dad and mum (Michael was around 6 or 7) and I ran to put my hand in the snow, thinking it wouldn't be that cold.

Geeze... was I wrong... :lol:

not at all glammy...

In hindsight I should have done a WB reading while there (even though I shoot in RAW) as 10 second WB reading can save you time endlessly hunting around in PP

I think that was the one.
