does this white balance look ok?

[lucas107]

hello just wondering if this looks just a smidge blue. i used the temperature wb thing in dpp and set it down to i think 2700k. one below and it looks rather blue and 1 above looks a bit orange. i have like 40 pics of him in this chair with the exact same settings because he was eating pasta and it was fun so i just need to get 1 perfect and then i can just batch them all. thanks

In PSP X I used Fade Correction on setting 2 & it was near perfect. Manually add some red & Green (a little bit more green than red) & see if it looks better. That should get rid of the purplish blue cast.

That would be because the OP doesn't have Image Editing OK set :)

here it is with nothing done but a crop and resize. as you can see its rather orange and the lighting in my dining room is a regular 60watt behind a clearish whitish cover which i think is part of the problem. this is my baby btw and i just want the pictures to look like him sitting in the chair not him sitting in the chair with an orange or blue light on him.

Light bulbs are a PITA when shooting..they really do cast such a yellow hue....a fill flash may have reduced that tint?

Tried my hand at your sweet little one.

Keep your focus on the eyes when doing the faces upclose...this little ones face is a little OOF....

[lucas107]

thanks it does look better. i know its a bit oof but he had the least food on his face in this one so it showed the bluishness to it best.
