Head shots

[desertview]

I just recently finished shooting with my new lights, I need to know what you think. There is a yellow glow to the photos, any suggestions?

[Simply Trinity]

What camera did you use?
May be WB setting. Quick 2 minute photoshop sorted it out so it looks like temp setting to me but i'm not an expert.
:D

Samples too small to properly analyze

Spend some time getting the colour balance correct and then give us another go with larger pictures if possible

Can you tell us what lights you were using and what white balance settings you had set the camera to? Its unusual to have this type of cast when using standard strobe heads if the only mistake was setting the camera to Auto WB.

It might be a white balance or try post peocessing

I was using a cannon rebel, and the WB was set on sunlight, the lights I was using were Aikiphoto studio light system. Using photoshop how did you adjust the color on the picture?

This is a 1 minute fix in levels. PM me if you want info on how to do it..

Az2Africa, would you share your fix with the rest of us? Thanks

These backgrounds look replaced ... Not very real IMO. The light balance is too warm for my taste as well.

Here was my first attempt in a studio setting.

It's obvious the sunlight setting doesn't work. If I were to guess, I'd say those are tungsten lights you're using, thus the yellow-ness. I'd try the tungsten setting.

If that doesn't work, try auto wb.

If you have photoshop, shoot in RAW mode and adjust the temperature right when you open it up.

O.K. I will try raw, the ones I shot were jpeg. I put them in photo shop and adjusted them, they turned out alot better. Thank you.

Here's my feeble attempt... with Adobe Photoshop 5.0... yeah that's right 5.0! :lol:

Your colors are not good. The original is underexposed and WB is way off maybe by 1500K !

You should have received software with your camera which would allow you to shoot in raw no matter the software you are using. If you are using the Rebel XT, I believe it comes with DPP for this purpose. It allows setting the WB, and levels among other things - then it converts to TIF or JPG format for further editing or use.
