OK, this is not related to an anime wallpaper, but I really need some guidance
on color correction, and this seemed like the right place to ask, with so many
experienced users of graphic software here. Long story short, I took my camera
to the beach, and the sun must have affected it, as now all the pictures it
takes are sort of blueish. Particularly, there is a set of pictures that I
really love, and would like to get fixed to print them again, but right now the
colors are a mess.
Any PS gurus can help me out with this?
Here is the original picture (dont worry about the scanlines, it's a pretty lame
scan, I have a nicer bigger resolution file available, but can't upload it
anywhere).
Now, as you can see the picture has some dreadful blue/magenta color cast. I
played around with the color balance, basically adding red and green, and got
this
So, the bottom of the dresses is now white, and our skins don't look martian
anymore, but now the pic seems a bit too yellowish... I can counter that adding
a bit more blue, but then it's way too blue ;_; And well, of course the sky
is yellow-gray (but I live in Mexico city, so that's sort of normal I guess).
If also there is a way to correct the colors of the dresses, I would love to
hear that. Actually, we're supposed to be using pink, lilac, green and blue.
See why my camera is now unusable?
Here is another pic, shot a while before this one, when my camera worked. You
can see the actual colors here
I actually made some progress by painting over the dresses with a brush set to
color mode., and usiing the eyedropper to select the right color from the ok
pic. However, although that fixes the dresses color, the pic still has a
yellowish feel. The floor, the faces look sort of yellow even though the
dresses are right.
Anyway... I've been fiddling with the color balance , levels, hue/sat/bri...
etc. for a while, and I 'm still unable to fix this poor thing. I would
really appreciate any pointers on more ideas on how to get the color
fixed.
