manual white balance

[justleesa]

I have been playing around with the manual white balance and notice that my pictures get pinkish/purplish towards the edge...what am I doing wrong?

I'd like to know, too. I've got several that are perfect on one side and pinkish on the other. Or in some of them it's just a corner.

GREAT picture....the only way make it work would be to turn it into a B & W

I love the flounder/sole - can never remember which is which!

Do a lot of your white balanced shots have this? I wonder if it a background thing when you shoot towards sand? Maybe where the sun is? Don't know but will be reading this with interest as I haven't done any of these shots yet.

I tried fixing the color but just made it worse. B&W is the only other way to go.

Yup they do...some even have it on both sides...I crop it, but not always does it work...loose too much of the picture...Lets wait until the "Whitebalance Guru" appears and gives us the answer...lol

Try using you PI! program to make the black and white, then go back to PSE and run the auto levels....you'll be surpised at your results.

No, not all of mine do. That's what's frustrating, I can't seem to see a pattern. Some of the best ones, those with the truest natural colors, were when I calibrated using a patch of sand. I'm pretty sure that's what I used in this one.
