How to correct WB inside Photoshop CS

…but I can't make that work in PSE-11 either. If I apply filter>blur>average to an original yucky-looking-shot-under-fluorescent-lights image, the whole image turns to a slightly off-color "gray card." I open an adjustment layer in levels, click the "gray card" with the gray eyedropper, and it instantly changes to a perfectly neutral "gray card." The problem is how to get back to the original image. I've tried using another adjustment layer, a plain layer—nothing seems to work on any layer other than the original. :hunf: I shall doggedly continue to experiment at the risk of my marriage. :lol:

if i understand this correctly once you use the eyedropper tool delete the layer with the grey and the levels adjustment will show on the bottom layer.

Online Photography Schools

Does any one know of reputable online photography schools that teach the business side of running your own business along with the photography side?


I just graduated from the art institute of Pittsburgh they have a great online school. It covers the entire gamut of photography as well as the business side. but they do not get into any real depth as far as software goes. they will get you the basics as far as the software goes but any depth into different aspects you will have to learn on your own. they instructors are really good at answering stuff outside the class room as far as photoshop and such go.

These are the granddaughters on one of the rare occasions that I could get them to hold still.Any help would be appreciated.


I think you have done a very good job with these images. It looks like to me your white balance is off a bit. You have some pretty granddaughters.

I need some help. I am shooting a canon eos 7d. I love this camera however when I go and shoot I end up with picuter that look great on the camera and when I get them on a computer they are really dark. These 2 pictures were taken within 10 min of each other. One is really dark the other is not. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I did have my polorizer on and I am begaining to think that was the problem. But what did it look good on the camera that is were I am stumped.


It looks like to me in the first image the camera is adjusting for the sky and this is making the bridge dark and in the second one the camera exposed for the bridge and blew out your sky

took these two photos, but changed settings... one is ok, the other not so.. im trying to learn to use manual more, although I did leave iso on auto.. the one that is not so sharp and has noise( I think), is that because the iso is much higher ?.. is it better to have iso as low as possible ?.. the only change I made was shutter speed, which changed iso.. any advice will be appreciated as I am still a work in progress... thanks...


the first thing i would say is get your ISO off of auto. It is possible for the Iso to change with each photo taken, so to get consistent get off all the auto stuff. As bright as the light is in these photos an iso of 100 or 400 would be as high as you need to go. pick an aperture say f8 and work with your shutter speed to get your exposure right. on a bright day like this you may want to bracket some shots to see what works better.

2 new carvings :)
Erv wrote:
I finished up 2 carvings last week and Janny got one painted for me. And the other one she put a finish on. The Leaf and Hedge Hog are carved out of Maple. I wonder where I got that idea? :) The Walrus is carved from a piece of coal.:) A friend gave me a few pieces of it because it was very hard and he knew I like to collect rocks. And he was not kidding when he said it was hard!!!
The nose is a little screwed up. As I got to that area there was a flaw in the coal.:( But he turned out pretty good. The tasks are a piece of window seal ( plastic ) that is suppose to look like marble.

Help Restoring Damages Photo
Quickflash wrote:
Fellow Hogs, I am asking for your advice and critique in regards to my efforts to restore a badly damaged photo for a friend of a friend. Attached is the original and my attempt at restoring it. I am sure that many of your are far more skilled than I am at this.
I am wondering what to charge and whether or not this could be done much better. How would you handle this with the customer, given that I am not a pro, but did put some serious time into this, and will continue to try to improve it further by removing more of the small blemishes that remain. I tried to get the color better, but this seems to be the best I can do with that aspect of it.
Thanks in advance.

i have gave it another go. and this is my end result. the color cast was really hard to get rid of.
