So i actually got a picture of my cat tonight... he actually took it easy and didn't run away when i put the camera in front of him (I think he was tired - haha.

I like the picture (I mean it's not great, but I don't have any good ones of him) but the lighting on his tail is bothering me... it looks to have a blue hue on two sections of the black parts (at least on my monitor).

I'm not exactly sure how to fix this, I have access to CS2 but I mainly just use DPP and in this case I changed the WB, added some contrast and sharpened it up a bit, then resized in CS2 to post here.

So is there a problem on his tail and if so, how do i go about fixing it?

Thanks!

Use photoshop and create a hue/saturation layer and go to your blues and bring down the saturation that should fix the problem. If it messes with the background blues just put it on a mask.

The blue is probably flare ((cheap?) UV filter?)

An adjustment layer with a mask in PSCS2 should fix the problem.
Hue/sat will work, curves will work, as well as a lot of others ;)

The lens does have a UV filter on it - Hoya (not the cheapest, but not the most expensive one either). Funny, this is the first picture I've noticed this on.

Thanks for the tips!

Yeah, probably not needed... and considering the filter was 1/4 the cost of the lens. lol - oh well, got a filter on all my lenses, makes me feel better ;)

Reflected light from the TV or a window maybe? I attached a rework I did.
Create a new adjustment layer then choose--Image--Adjustments--hue/saturation--choose "blues"--sample the blue area of the cats tail--backed the saturation down to -60
To bring the blue back to the window area go back to the saturation screen, choose "cyans", sample center of blue in the window. Increased saturation back up to +50 and this is what I got.

Copy in front is the original overlayed to show no loss of blue in the window.

Awesome, thanks Doug - I'll have a go at it myself when I get home. I appreciate all the help and especially your comparison.
