take the yellow out

[Nathan S]

This is a photo of my youngest daughter,iso set high and no flash.

For this photo i found myself thinking about what was goin on lol.
To take the yellow out of a picture turned out to be a small chalenge.
Curves RGB and Blue along with saturation blue/master/yellow and some hue adjustment. masking for the eyes and lips then blending mode and blur effect. Took alot of playing with color adjustment to get it right,but i am a beginer. Hope it helps and everyone likes

Be sure to look at a larger view of this photo....i notice that it looks pixelated for some reason.

The second image is better but looks overprocessed.

This is a white balance issue. Read this article: Introduction To White Balance.

What file format are you shooting in? JPEG or RAW?

What camera are you using and what white balance setting did you use?

thanks for that site, i havev looked it over and now covering the information on my camera. I use a Canon EOS 40D digital SLR so when i masterthe option use of my camera the quality ofmy pics should be very nice. When i retake this picture i will repost it here for further comments. my ISO was set at 1600 pic taken indoors near dark. I have had the camera for about a week so there is lots of learning to do lol.

The 40D is a good camera but you have to remember it won't take really good pictures until the owner learns how to use it properly, learns the basics of photography and has the right equipment for the type of photography he's interested in doing. It's not something you can master in a short amount of time. It takes time and a lot of studying and practice...lots of practice. Your first 10,000 pictures will be your worse. You'll start to improve after that.
