Did you have any tungsten lights on in the room where you took the photo?

Are you using a tungsten light overhead?

A few of the posts in this thread have uploaded post processed copies of your photo where they used either the patch tool or clone brush. I disagree with those methods as they tend to soften the image and take longer.

That being said, I thought I would display my version.

I've added some noise reduction, selective sharpening and a light vignette to the quick color correction detailed in my previous post.

If you send me the original full resolution photo by PM I will process it and send it back to you along with my detailed, step by step post process method.

Merry Christmas :thumbup:

I looked at the upload while still having the photo in PS and noticed that colors do not render correctly in my browser (Internet Explorer).

I started a thread on this topic at:

if anyone is interested.

Thought I'd include a version 2 where all the yellow cast is removed throughout the photo ( A different process using average blur and a curves adjustment layer).

I think this is it. You either have an incandescent or a fluorescent bulb on the subject. Increase the shutter speed and use a flash.

This is in the "Pick Your Poison Department." The shot has nice tone and color and no harsh shadows. Use a flash, and you may overwhelm the yellow tinge, but bring in a whole bunch of new problems. I know I've had to work hard to tone down harsh shadows from flash, and I'd have been a lot happier if I could have done without the flash.

I guess the best answer is to shoot with and without flash, and see which gives you the more satisfactory result.

Don't use direct flash or your subject will look like a deer in the headlights. There are excellent ways of using flash in studio work.

I'm not sure I would try filtering my flash. You might try shutting off the overhead. If that's not practical you might try kicking the shutter speed up to the highest point where it will still sync and or increase the strobe output and f-stop.

to correct, if you have a editing program that will let you adjust the saturation level of the color channel, you might try reducing the yellow channel little bit.

Can you tell me how to PM you with an attachment? I am new at this. Step by step instructions would be wonderful! I truly appreciate it.

I am certainly no expert but I am fairly certain that you had some tungsten light falling on the subject. Here is a snapshot where there was a tungsten bulb in the ceiling fixture to the right of the subject (photo left) and a fluorescent bulb in the ceiling ficture to the left of the subject (photo right). You can easily see the yellow cast from the tungsten on the subjects right side.
