picture style help?

[sgogula]

Just back from New Hampshire with loads of my family pictures.

I have shot all my pictures with RAW+ JPEG and picture style set to AUTUMN HUES.

Did anyone ever shot with this picture style? The pictures look good but the person standing in the foreground has some color cast (more yellowish).

I was selecting only the person and changing the colors in CS3 but doesn't look realistic.

Does anyone know the color difference between PORTRAIT and AUTUMN HUES? I mean what color parameters make the AUTUMN HUES to PORTRAIT?

I use both DPP and CS3.

Many of the add-on picture styles are not meant to be used for pictures of people. As you have the RAW file, you could always double-process the file. One coversion for the trees and the other for the people. Then blend the two in Photoshop.

This is assuming that the color cast is not due to an improper white balance. You may want to check that first.

Thanks for your reply.

I have around 500 family pictures so any little complex process would consume lot of time.

I want to do something real quick like select the person and changing hue or saturation which I think would take relatively less time.

White balance seems to be fine.

I understand. That's a lot of photos to fix. It could be that you are right that a simple HSL adjustment would work, but my understanding is that the different picture styles employ different contrast curves as well. With Photoshop Elements there is a adjust for skin tone control. You could select the person and then use that control to adjust the skin to exactly what you want.

does anyone know the similar control in CS3?
