I was in las Vegas the other day and took some picture of my great grandaughter. I was disppointed because the pictures that I downloaded from the camera on to the computer has this ugly amber tint to them,
anydody got any ideas what caused this. I shot35mm at the same time, same spot and no amber tint. The pro camera guy szs I might have a white balance issue. Any ideas? Sorry to tell you that I deleted the images from this computer; however if anybody ones to see them, I'll download them again Lens was 24-104 f/4(?) shot at 80 of a sec and aperature was F8. The grass is green the soilis dark bkn and picts were taken at 10:30am; 35mm film was portia 160

Sounds like a white balance issue. Were you photographing under tungsten lights?
You should be able to correct it in post processing.

I agree with the pro camera guys and Kit Lens, what you have described sounds like the definition of a white balance problem.

You may have inadvertently changed your white balance shift to the amber side. Not sure if your camera has the capability to do that. Check in your menu for white bracketing shift and see.

It sounds as if you were in Tungsten white balance. Switch the camera to Auto white balance and try again. I do find that my Canon T2i (same working parts as T3i) tends to be a little cool (bluish), rather than warm (amber). However, as I shoot RAW and can adjust colour temperature easily, it does not matter to me.

Some of the new, low energy consumption, ceiling lights have a maddening effect of a weird yellowish tinge, on hair especially. It is NOT apparent by eye. The camera sensors seem to be sensitive to it. Thus why your film didn't show it.
You can try and use a flash to override this. White balance may help, however not if you have different light sources. ie: natural light- or other light from the front/side, ceiling lights from above.
The temp of these new lights is difficult to remove easily. You have to isolate the offending pixels and adjust them separately for the effect to be convincing. And hair is so fun to silhouette. :0)~

Try the same shot in landscape, portrait,Standard, and faithful. They will also have some different values. Landscape the blues and greens, portrait
a little warmer with more reds, then try your white balance adjustments.

Yes - - WB. When shooting important photos - recommend always capture JPG + RAW.The pictures that I downloaded from the camera on to the computer has this ugly amber tint to them
Then you can fix any WB problems easily without loss of detail by reprocessing the Camera RAW in Post.
