The WB seems off. That red tint isnt right.

 

[cestlefun17]

How do you adjust the white balance?

 

[Opher]

Any image editing software should have an Auto and manual white balance (should be under colorer)

 

[Opher]

Still a bit to red but better

Sorry for double post:meh:

 

[ToddLange]

looks over exposed to me.and there is a lot of blow out.

 

[syphlix]

hah that's a lot better...

i think the light is a little rough?...

the OP, looks like something you'd see in a 70's early 80's magazine, thats what I got from a quick look, Ophers edit brings the coloring closer to where it should be, but it is a lil'overexposed too, I would have probably framed the whole modle aswell as not to much of her is actualy cut out.

 

[Opher]

New edit (desaturated the green to try to give it more depth)

 

[EleanorW]

Personally speaking... as a redhead, I'm that pink all summer naturally lol

 

[cestlefun17]

Thanks! Those edits look great, especially the second one.

 

[Opher]

If you think those edits look great you should see what some of the other people on hear can do.:er:

OP feel free to try some editing your self. You can do the basics with something like the GIMP. Mostly just have fun with it.

 

[MikeBookPro]

This looks better to my eyes.

How do you adjust the white balance?

Use different film, or use a color correction filter.

That film is probably Daylight balanced though, so - since this was shot in daylight, it's right.

Is this a scan of the print, or the negative?

If it's the print, the redness was from the lab and could easily be corrected before printing. If it's the negative, it would still be pretty easy (not sure what software you're using).
