Just did a little PP to your image as an example of 2 mins work

White balance, a slight tweak in Curves and sharpening.

I think you agree its not perfect but its worth the 2 mins

It took you two minutes to do that?? You should have spent more time, it looks like crap. I can do that kind of work in 30 seconds, and that's including the time it takes PSP to load up.

Wow, I thought you guys were smart, I think I should reevaluate where I ask questions.

Nah, seriously, that's about what I'd come up with on yesterdays shots. I didn't process any of them yet, just the one with the flash. I'd do just about the same as you did, only I'd do an auto color balance and maybe a slight brightness boost. Funny thing is it does only take about 10 seconds to do it in PSP.

In any regard, the shots from yesterday came out way better than previous days, so there's a better image to work with than what I was getting. The only thing I didn't do was shoot RAW. Not because I didn't want to, I didn't shoot RAW because I forgot to set the camera to RAW. Otherwise I would have done it. I didn't even think about it, I was too busy screwing around with other things and totally forgot about it.

But, I'm a lot happier with the shots from yesterday than I am with previous shots.

I actually forgot to say that if you do a curves adjustment on the green channel on its own its actually possilbe to get an even better effect with regards to the green tinge.

And my 2 mins was done at work (when i shouldnt really have been doing it at all :D )

I think you might want to reevaluate your attitude if you want any further help in the future... :rolleyes:

I can only hope that the smiley indicates that you meant the comment is a 'funny' way.

I think you should spend a little time with a dictionary, and read through terms like "sarcasm", "humor", "joke", etc.. Maybe that would give you a better insight. I know it's hard to tell when reading online posts when it's serious and when it's humor. Rest assured, it was humor. Even if I was serious, I sure wouldn't say something like that to someone I don't know. That would just be rude and ignorant, and I am neither.

But, thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt, I appreciate it.

And my 2 mins was done at work (when i shouldn't really have been doing it at all )


Oooh, I'm telling!!

Neilwood32, I tried the green channel in curves, you're right, it actually works pretty dang good, too. I learn something new every day. Normally I don't use curves, doesn't usually do what I want. But, I never tried single channels in curves, now I have something new to play with and learn.

Thanks for the input.
