I took a couple of pics for the weekly photo thread.

one came out quite well (well for a phone pics by an amateur), the other is too blue so the snow isn’t white. I can Photoshop the pic to get the snow white but then the blue of the frame is washed out. So how should I be adjusting it or is it just a limitation of my phone?

good

too blue

what version are you using?

you could edit the jpg in the raw editor and adjust the white balance colours and then adjust hue and saturation of the individual colours (depends on version)

levels

nothing that advanced. an old version of photoshop. or just standard MS photo editor.

Try googling for ‘remove a blue cast in photoshop’ something like this: http://www.sitepoint.com/remove-a-color-cast-with-photoshop/ will help.

Image > adjustments > auto color

bit like this

sorry about the credit 🙂

Too green.

lol – get your screen calibrated

that’s great but it’sthe other pic I want to adjust 🙂

Picasa > I’m feeling lucky > save. (-:

it was just an example of what can be done, but I’ll do the other if you want. send me the original file (mail in profile) and I’ll send it back

appreciate it but what I’m interested in is how which you’ve kindly answered. Giving it a go as we speak.

excellent – let’s see the results when done, and promis eno comments about the state of your garden 🙂

Snapseed it the magic too you want, image processing is seconds.

Colour balance. It has separate settings for highlights/midtones/shadows so will not effect the blue of the frame.

use lab colour and levels to get rid of a colour hue.

As MrSmith suggests, use colour balance.

…even though this quick example with Pixalmator still has a whiff of the instagrams about it.

In Photoshop: Image>Adjustments>Selective Colour.

Select ‘whites’ (or maybe neutrals) from the menu and take the blue out using the slider.

I used to use the dropper, selecting something that should be a neutral grey, using the black/white/neutral boxes. Tricky to explain, I haven’t done it for some years, but it was a good way of removing colour casts. Trouble with snow is it does often get a blue cast to the shadows if the sky is clear.

A couple of seconds with colour balance, contrast and (brillo) which would be brightness, I think.

In the latest version of photoshop select- Image->Adjust->Badger.

I find it sorts out most photos easily:

😉 The old jokes are best

Here we go. No badger I’m afraid 😉

Just a quick warmth/saturation/brightness/contrast edit on my phone:

Surely it’s colour temp? Needs warming up?

Seeing as we’re all having a go.

Let me know what you think; I’m terrible at post-processing (-:

john – it’s meant to look cold! 😉
