Bad color (Over/under saturation Hue)

[Lions]

Hi there




I had this on rejected for Bad color(over/under Saturation Hue). Is it over or under Saturation Hue?, most of my photos lately get rejected for the above reason. What do I do wrong?

I use adobe photoshop cs2, on the Hue/Saturation window i use 11% increase in the Saturation box for this particular photo.






Thanks

Frikkie, your photos have a history of a green hue. Do you adjust the white balance at all? While this particular shot is not the worst case a quick adjustment gives you this:

I would say 11% is far too much, personally I only ever use about 4%

Hi AJ

No, how do you adjust the white balance?

Yes i see the difference and, wow there is alot of green hue

[AJ]

There are several ways to do it. I opeted for an easy and quick way with your photo and that was via 'levels' in PS. Just select the white dropper and point at a part of the aircraft you know is white. Later on you can get more advanced but that is a start for you.

Thank you Anthony


I will give it a try,

I use a NikonD70S, any advice with the settings on the camera to get the green hue out?

Thank you

[AJ]

Try out other white balance modes other than auto and see what happens!

Thank you AJ for all the help I appreciate it

HUGE improvement!

[AJ]

You are welcome and that is much better. To avoid the appearance of overexposure try resetting the '255' on the levels page to '250' or so.

Thank you and I know it will be better from now on.

I just also want to thank all the screeners for their time in screening our photos, it is much appreciated
