- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
As not to hijack JonK's thread on the photo taken of his daughter using a real studio light (softbox) and a reflector, I shall start a new thread on photos that I took of my daughter, making use of a large, rectangle (totally out-of-date, more 70s-style lamp = tungsten light) and no reflector (duh! :meh: ). Well, actually, these are only snapshots, for she was sitting there, in my parents-in-law's home, on Christmas day, and I wielded around (erm... not really that badly) my "new toy" (i.e. my new Canon EOS 350D, yuppieh ) and said: hang on, stay there, let me try this.
What I don't know (and somehow can no longer find out) is whether I set the white balance to "tungsten". There are other photos where I did and they STILL came out horribly yellow (this does not happen to the same extent with the Powershot!). Anyhow, here is the "reply-pic" to JonK's photo. Mark: in here you can see all you can do wrong... :roll:
After a little bit of PS work in an attempt to get rid of the yellow, but I don't really know what I am doing in Photoshop, so the result is ... erm...
